Short selling, also known as short selling, is an investment term and a way of operating financial assets. Short selling is to borrow the underlying assets first, then sell them to get cash, and after a period of time, pay cash to buy the underlying assets and return them. The common functions of shorting are speculation, financing and hedging.

Among them, short-selling speculation means that if the market is expected to fall in the future, it will sell high and buy low, and sell the borrowed stocks at the current price, and then buy them back after the market falls to obtain the difference profit. Its trading behavior is characterized by selling first and then buying. In fact, it is a bit like the credit transaction model in business. This model can profit in the wave band of falling prices, that is, borrowing goods at a high level and selling them, and then buying and returning them after falling.
