'Shorting' is selling stocks you don't have in the hope that the prices will fall.
When the buyer demands delivery of the stock you can then buy those stocks in the open market for less than you already sold them for, making a profit in the process.
If the prices do not fall, you have to buy them anyway and will lose money on the transaction.

What does this 'stock option plan' mean?
A stock option gives you the right to buy stock at a specific price. In the US, they're a fairly common way to partially pay companies' executives. Acme might give its CEO an option on 1000 shares of stock at the price of $50 per share as part of her paycheck. What she'll do is to wait until the stock hits, say, $65 per share then exercise her option and make $15,000 in paper wealth in one whack.
Let's say your company's shares cost 50 pounds per share the day you buy your option, and they are going to sell you an option to buy enough stock to be worth 5000 pounds (or 1000 shares). You get a year to exercise the option after you get it. If you wait until the stock goes to 80 pounds per share, you'll get 8000 pounds worth of stock for 5000 pounds. If you are allowed to resell the stock right after you get it, you'll make 3000 pounds instantly. If you must hold it for a while--some companies make you, to keep you from being suspected of insider trading--wait till it goes up even more and then sell it.
