Shorting

Let's see if I understand this shorting business correctly.

First you borrow a stock that you don't want and immediately sell it for more than you think it is worth.

Then you root for disaster to hit that stock so that you can buy it back cheaper and repay your creditor with less than you borrowed.

Is that somewhere in the ballpart?
