Again showing you don't know what short is.

Short you borrow a stock, sell it, and at some point in the future buy it again to give back the one you borrowed.

So if I borrow a stock worth 10 dollars, sell it, I get 10 dollars, stock falls to 5, I buy a stock for 5 and give it back. My profit is 5 dollars. (Ignoring all the fees, interests and taxes)

______________

Now... the same way a bank just doesn't lend money to anyone. Brokers also don't lend shares that easily.

If you want to borrow a 10 dollar share, you need to deposit at least 25% (2.5 dollars) of that into the brokers account as collateral. Also, after the selling, you don't get the money, it remains frozen with the broker as insurance. You also need to pay for the rent fees, and interest on the share you borrowed, just like when you borrow money.

________________

Stocks are Limited Liability, Infinity Gain.

Because if I buy a 10 dollar stock, I can only lose at most 10 dollar. But there's no limit on how high the price can go.

Shorts are Limited Gain, Infinity Liability.

Because if I short a 10 dollar stock, the most I can gain is 10 dollars, if the price reaches zero. But there's no limit on how much I can lose.

So knowing a company is gonna fail, is not a money making scheme.
