You may have figured from the previous comment already, but 'shorting' is a bet the company's stock will go lower in the future. And 'going long' is betting that the company's stock will rise in the future.

Both forms of hedging are what's called a 'margin'.

So by "shorting", do you also help Twitter Stocks go down too? Everyone wants to get in on the fun!
