Market Summary
The market has had a sharp decline in recent weeks and uncertainty is definitely present. However, there are always opportunities no matter which way the market is moving. One such opportunity is short selling.
Short selling involves selling a share first, then buying it back at a lower price (hopefully), profiting from the difference. Essentially, it is the inverse of conventional investing. The graph above is an example of a short sell some of our clients have done. Short selling is a great way to capitalise on a falling market during uncertain times.
