Short Selling

In the world of finance, there is a strategy known as short selling. This involves borrowing shares from the owner through a brokerage and then selling them on the market at a current price. The goal of this transaction is to make a profit by buying back the shares at a lower price when the market falls. This practice is often used as a way to mitigate risk and potentially gain from market fluctuations.
