What do you mean by speculating in crude oil and shorting it?
Dragon: it is a term used in financial markets such as stocks, foreign exchange or futures. Is to buy and hold stocks, foreign exchange or futures, and wait for gains. Long is long. When bulls judge that the market is rising, they will buy stocks immediately, so long means buying stocks, foreign exchange or futures.

Short selling: also selling short, short selling (in Hong Kong) and short selling (in Singapore and Malaysia) is an investment term of stocks and futures, and it is a mode of operation in the stock and futures markets. In contrast to bulls, in theory, it is to borrow goods to sell first and then buy them back. Short selling refers to selling borrowed stocks at the current price in the expectation of future market decline, and then buying and returning them after the market decline in order 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. For example, a stock is expected to fall in the future, borrowed and sold when the current price is high (the actual transaction is to buy a put contract), then bought when the stock price falls to a certain extent and returned to the seller at the current price. The difference is the profit.
