Provisions for Short Selling in the Stock Market (A Comparative Study )

Abstract

Short selling is one of the trading methods that allow the investor to take advantage of market downturns without having to wait for the decline to end to enter the market. Selling is defined as when the investor sells financial assets such as stocks, currencies, etc. without owning this asset, but rather borrows them, and then repurchase them when the price in the market falls, and thus he can achieve profits represented in the difference between the selling price and the purchase price.
