Mark - Shorting stock is a means of making money if a stock drops in price. A person who shorts a stock would borrow shares of the stock to be shorted from his broker and execute the trade only on an up-tick in price. If the stock drops as anticipated the trader would cover his short sale by buying the shares back. The profit would equal the difference between the shorted price and the covered price less commissions.
