Identify the stock that you want to sell short.Make sure that you have a margin account with your broker and the necessary permissions to open a short position in a stock.Enter your short order for the appropriate number of shares. When you send the order, the broker will lend you the shares and sell them on the open market on your behalf. At some point, you'll need to close out your short position by buying back the stock that you initially sold and then returning the borrowed shares to whoever lent them to you, via your brokerage company.If the price went down, then you'll pay less to replace the shares, and you keep the difference as your profit. If the price of the stock went up, then it'll cost you more to buy back the shares, and you'll have to find that extra money from somewhere else, suffering a loss on your short position.
