Short selling is the process of selling borrowed stock at the current price, then closing the trade by purchasing the stock at a future time. What this essentially means is that, if the price drops between the time you enter the trade and when you deliver the stock, you turn a profit minus any fees or expenses.

When short selling there is no limit on how high a stock price could rise so the potential loss is unlimited. Other risks include dividend risk and margin risk, this strategy is not appropriate for all investors.
