Total newb here, but I had a question that won’t leave me head until I ask:
As I understand it, you can “bet on” a certain company by buying stock in that company with the expectation that later, the stock value will rise and you can sell, pocketing the difference.
So, is there a way to “bet against” a company? Is there a way you can make a profit by expecting the stock price of a company to fall instead of rising? If so, what is that process called, and why isn’t it more common?
Edit: I have no plans to seriously invest, and certainly not this way. This was mostly an idea-worm that I needed to ask about. Thanks all!
