Short selling is a strategy that flips the usual idea of investing. Instead of buying a stock and hoping it goes up, short sellers borrow shares, sell them, and hope the price drops.
Usually, this strategy is executed through leveraged products like Contracts for Difference (CFDs). CFDs allow traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying shares.
