Understanding Short Selling
Before we delve into Shorted, let's revisit the concept of short selling:
Short selling is an investment strategy where traders anticipate a decline in a stock's price. They borrow shares to sell them on the market, intending to repurchase them later at a lower price, pocketing the difference as profit.
