What is Short Selling? 

Short selling is a type of financial technique that entails borrowing, selling, and then subsequently purchasing back a securities at a lower price in order to profit from the drop in value that the seller anticipates. A US financial research company called Hindenburg Research focuses on activist short-selling, which entails publishing in-depth studies on firms it considers to be overvalued, dishonest, or deceiving investors. Before publishing its analysis, Hindenburg Research takes a short position in the target firm, and after the report is made public, it profits from the decline in share price.
