I am new to this too.
However, I believe a short is someone who actually makes money when the stock price goes down.
Shorters have an interest and gain when the stock price goes down (personally, I think this should not be allowed in our captialist society. I think it is detrimental and cynical)
It is like betting in a sports game, but making money by predicting that one team will lose, and betting on that losing team---very loose analogy, since our economy should not be viewed as a game.
