@money-dreamer the difference between going long and short selling (in any type of investing) is that in a long position the seller receives the current present value of an investment and no longer has a vested interest in the transaction. Shorting an investment is similar to selling a lemon of a car, where the seller not only maintains a vested interest in the transaction, but naturally believes that the buyer is overpaying for the investment to the point where, by definition, the seller is wagering that the buyer has purchased an investment of diminishing value.
Putting a face to every transaction, going long is a vote of confidence in something/someone’s future via influx of capital. Shorting is a bet against someone’s success.
