It's selling stock you don't own hoping to replace it with a purchase when the asset is at a lower price. (You borrow shares to sell with the promise you'll replace them later.) In other words, profiting by depreciation in an asset's price rather than the traditional appreciation.
So anyone here SHORTING Twitter?
Ok, I'm going to look stupid, but what is "shorting Twitter", please?
