All that you said, PLUS there is no theoretical limit to the downside in a short sale. In other words, if you buy a stock, your loss is limited to the price you paid and your “upside potential” is infinite. When you sell a stock short, your gain is limited to the price you paid and your possible loss is theoretically infinite.
