What is "short selling"? How? Please give a simple example?
Short selling, also known as "long-term trading", is a speculative activity in which traders use borrowed funds to buy futures in the market in order to sell them at a high price in the future when prices rise, and it is also the symmetry of short selling.

In the modern securities market, buying and selling transactions are generally carried out by using margin accounts. When the trader thinks that the stock price is rising, he borrows money from the securities company through the margin account to buy stock futures. Later, the stock price rose to a certain extent, and he sold it to the market at a high price and got the ticket.

For example, gold is now $65,438 +0.650 per ounce. If you think the trend is downward, buy downward. When you fall below 1650, you can make money at any point. Short selling must be all kinds of two-way transactions.

Most of the funds that traders need to buy stocks are lent by securities companies.

(2) Different from ordinary commodity trading, the whole process of long-term trading can only be completed through the second transaction of buying stocks first and then selling them.
