Will short selling increase the price?

Short selling is an investment strategy that allows investors to make profits when the price of a stock is expected to fall. The process of shorting stocks is roughly as follows:

Borrowing shares: Investors borrow shares (usually from a securities company or broker) so that they can sell those shares.

Short selling stocks: Investors sell borrowed stocks in the stock market at the current stock price as an initial selling position.

Repurchase shares: At a later point in time, the investor must repurchase the same number of shares and return them to the lender.

Profit or Loss: If the stock price drops after short selling, the investor can buy back the stock at a lower price and make a profit. However, if the stock price rises, investors will need to buy back the shares at a higher price when repurchasing them, potentially incurring losses.

Please note that shorting stocks is a high-risk investment strategy that requires investors to have appropriate knowledge, experience and risk tolerance. In addition, specific market rules and regulations may impose restrictions or requirements on short selling of stocks, and investors should understand and comply with relevant regulations before proceeding.

However, price changes in the stock market are uncertain, and the specific profit and loss situation depends on the trend of individual stocks and the trading ability of traders.
