Fffc short question. A short is when a mm or broker allows you to borrow some ones shares. The share amount goes in to your account. You sell the shares at market price planning on it the pps going down. At some point that you decide you acquire the same amount of shares and return them to mm or broker. There is also time limits sometimes applied. 1 day 1 week . The gamble is if pps goes up you lose money(having to bye back at higher then sold) and if it goes down you make money (having the pps go down the difference is yours). There is also a cost per share to mm or broker for rent lets say. You tube it and there are plenty of videos. Not all brokers allow on pps under $5.00. Good luck
