Buying short, commonly referred to as short selling, is an investment strategy where an investor borrows shares of a stock and sells them on the market with the intention of buying them back later at a lower price. The investor profits if the stock price declines, allowing them to repurchase the shares at a reduced cost and return them to the lender. However, if the stock price rises, the investor faces potentially unlimited losses, as there is no cap on how high the stock price can go. This strategy is considered high-risk and is typically used by more experienced investors.
