👉 Shorting is a trading strategy in which an investor buys into a stock at a lower price than it would have if it were to sell, and then sells the stock for a higher price when the market price of the stock has risen. This strategy is often used to profit from declines in the value of a particular company's stock, as the purchase of the stock before the decline occurs can help to offset the loss incurred by selling the stock at a later date.
