1. short selling

   Short selling, also known as shorting, is an investment or trading strategy in which an investor sells a security they do not own, with the intention of repurchasing it later at a lower price. Brokerages lend the securities for short selling. It is a strategy used to profit from the falling price of a security. The difference between the selling price and the repurchase price is the investor's profit.
