Everything You Need to Know About Short Selling
In the traditional forms of trading, the trader buys or sells the securities that he already owns. However, in some cases, a trader borrows the securities like stocks and sells the borrowed securities. This process is called short selling. Short selling is the practice in which the trader or the investor sells the shares that he does not currently own. The securities are borrowed from a broker and then sold, hoping that the prices of the shares will go down, so that when the prices go down the investor can buy them at lower prices and return them to the lender. In this process, the investor is able to make profits in the bear market due to the difference in the low buying price and the high selling price. Here is everything you need to know about short selling.

Not knowing the financial market can put many people off of investing, but this shouldn't be the case. If you want a more direct role in your finances, a real connection to the objects of your investments, you'll probably want to invest in things you know, love, and understand—and frankly, it's not very likely that even your favorite chain restaurant instills strong emotions in you. Investing in fine wine is fun, but not everyone is into that. So what fits that criteria? Well, for a significant proportion of the world's population, professional sports.
