CY1234 : I think this company is fine. The problem is that I don't understand the operation of bears. As a newcomer, I only understand that short positions are similar to borrowing shares from others; when the deadline is over, you have to pay them back to the borrower. However, seeing bears here seems endless. They can smash tens of millions of shares every day, making me wonder if I've made a mistake

DMC24 CY1234 : I think the same. After all, this glass, which can be controlled, is very convenient, and the privacy protection is still very advanced, but I just don't know where so many short stocks come from every day

DMC24 DMC24 : If he wants stocks to go up, shouldn't less be better? That's how the value goes up

CY1234 DMC24 : Right. So I asked a few times: is it impossible to run out of empty positions? But no boss answered me, so I don't understand

CY1234 : The bears want the lower the price, the better. Because they bought it at a high price, they needed to buy it back to the borrower at a lower price. But I don't understand why there are so many short stocks

xforce : **The illusion of endless short selling**:
Short sales are not endless, but in markets with high trading volume and high liquidity, short selling operations can be carried out frequently, making short sales seem like a lot. In fact, short selling operations are still limited by market rules and the number of shares to be borrowed.
