Short sale

Selling shares of a stock you don't own. You complete the sale by delivering shares you borrow or that are borrowed for you.

Short sales anticipate a decline in the stock's price, which enables you to cover the sale with a future purchase of the stock at a lower price—therefore making a profit.
