>>935409It's a way to make money off a falling market.
You find a broker thatl'l let you "short" amazon.
What that means is hel'l let you 'borrow' amazon shares to sell.
You sell those shares now at the current price.
Now you owe the broker amazon shares.
Amazon falls rapidly.
At a later date you buy amazon shares at the new lower price.
You pay the broker back with the amazon shares.
Effectively profiting off of a falling market.
It sounds complex but really it's just another button on your trading UI that says "Sell" isntead of "Buy" and works exactly the same except you lose money if the price goes up, and gain money of the price goes down.
