Short-term is an investment term for stocks and futures. For example, when you expect a stock to fall in the future, sell the stock you own when the current price is high, then buy it when the stock price falls to a certain level and return it to the seller at the current price, so the difference is your profit. Short selling is a way of operation in the stock and futures markets.

Basic definition

It is the antonym of "do more". Theoretically, it is to borrow goods to sell first and then buy them back. Generally, the regular short-selling market has a neutral warehouse to provide a platform for borrowing goods. 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. So buying is still low, selling is still high, but the operating procedures are reversed.
