to make money you need to sell higher than you buy.

Usually you buy first and sell later, hopefuly at a higher price.

In short selling the order is reversed ... you sell first then buy later hopefuly at a lower price.

With stocks you have to find someone willing to lend you the shares to sell. Kinda like borrowing money ... you pay interest on it. You return the shares after you buy them back. The broker handles the details between the lender and borrower.

The lender can’t lose, only gets interest, right? That’s why he does it?
