This page contains data entry 55390 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

There’s a variety of ways to short a stock. They each make money in slightly different ways. I’ll explain two of the more common ones - selling borrowed stock and buying puts.

With selling borrowed stock, you find someone who is holding the shares and is selling to lend them to you. You typically pay interest for this service. Say you sell the stock for $100 and then it crashes to $60. You just go out to the market, buy a share for $60, and return it to your lender. You pocket the $40 profit (minus whatever interest you paid).

With buying puts, you go and pay a small amount to own a put. That put gives you the right to sell the stock to writer of the put at some agree upon price. If the stock is currently at $100 and the strike price of the put is also $100, you might pay something like $5 to purchase the put. After the stock drops to $60, you can buy a share in the market and then exercise your put, letting you sell it immediately for $100. You walk away with $35 profit.
