In this video tutorial, we will discuss what is short selling, how short selling works, what is Long Position, short selling examples & risks, why Short Selling is beneficial, etc.

What is Short selling? Short selling is an investment strategy where an investor profits by betting against a stock.

It’s the opposite approach to the traditional long position where you buy shares when prices are low and sell them in the future when their price goes up.
So In a traditional way of investing, we first buy low and then sell high.
But in short selling, the investment order gets reversed, so we first sell high and then buy low.

Example: Let’s suppose you as an investor feel that Amazon’s stocks are overvalued at $100, and its value might come down soon. And so you borrow 10 shares from Amazon’s broker and sell them at the market’s current price, which is $100. Suppose, the next day, news comes out that Amazon’s shares value has declined by a crazy $25. And therefore, you buy back the 10 shares at $75 each and also return the 10 borrowed shares to the broker.
And in this entire process, you bag a profit of $1000-$750= $250. Nice right?
However, if for some reason Amazon’s share price rises, let’s say to $150.
Then you will end up losing $500 ($1,500 – $1000).

In 2020, US short-sellers lost a crazy $40 billion trying to bet against the stocks of Tesla, thinking it was extremely overpriced.

You also risk losing infinite money when you short sell because a stock’s price can keep rising forever, especially during a bullish market.
Plus, when you borrow shares or funds from your broker, they will charge you interest rates of somewhere between 2 to 3% on your borrowings.

So why do investors still go for it if short selling is so risky?

Short selling provides opportunities to make profits by taking advantage of a declining market.
For example, Michael Burry, profited a whopping $100 million when he predicted a subprime mortgage crisis in the year 2007 in the US. But such incidences are very rare!
Short selling is for investors with tons of experience in the stock market and have a huge appetite for risk tolerance.

How to Account for Share Based Compensation [Video]

When a company grants share-based compensation that has a performance condition (which means a certain sales, profit, or other performance condition must be met in order for the share-based compensation to vest), the company must assess at the end of each period whether it is probable that the performance condition will be met. If it is not probable that the performance condition will be met, the company must reverse any compensation expense previously recorded for this share-based compensation (if no compensation expense was previously recorded, the company wouldn't make a journal entry). If it is probable that the performance condition will be met, the company should record compensation expense. Note that for share-based compensation with a MARKET condition (based on the stock price) instead of a performance condition, the company should record compensation expense whether or not it is probable that the market condition will be met. — Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
