Longs and shortsMost investors buy a stock and then sell it at a later date. This is called going long.
Some investors borrow a stock from a brokerage and then sell it on the condition that they replace it on demand. This is called going short. The shorter wants the stock to go down so their replacement cost will be less than their sale price.
Shorters hire trolls to spread lies, misinformation, disinformation, rumor and slander in an attempt to drive the share price down. There is no shortage of shorter trolls on this forum. They can recognized by their constant negativity. Do they actually drive the share prtice down? I am not convinced but they do a very good job at annoying legitimate shareholders trying to use this forum.
