I wanted to learn how to short stocks but with limited exposure a while ago. Not sure what I wanted to short back then. But maybe I'll try to short Discord now just for fun.

I think most trading platforms only offer shorting through CFDs, not the real way of shorting, which is borrowing actual shares to sell with a promise to buy them back later. I’ve never shorted and don’t plan to because when you short, you can lose more than 100%, while when you're long, the most you can lose is 100%.

Yeah shorting is risky business. Why they turned off the buy button on Robinhood to stop the pain for those who were short GameStop stock
