Short Selling - How To Make Money Investing In Bad Stocks(2)

Selling stocks short


Selling stocks short is a simple way to make money when stocks drop.

To "sell short" you simply borrow the stock from your broker, sell it, and then buy it back when the price drops.

You then return it to the broker you borrowed it from and keep the profit. Yes, it's perfectly legal!

Imagine that.
