# Briefly about Short and Long
What is a Short? 📉
- Selling an asset that you do not own
- Goal: to buy back later at a lower price and profit from the difference
Example of a Short:
1. A customer orders Gucci slippers for $100, even though they are not in stock
2. You sell "on margin" for $100
3. When the price drops to $80, you buy and fulfill the order
4. Profit: $100 − $80 = $20 🎉
What is a Long? 📈
- Buying an asset in advance with the expectation of selling it for more
- You profit if the price goes up
Example of a Long (benefit for the customer):
1. The customer places a pre-order for Gucci slippers at a fixed price of $100 📋
2. You purchase for $100 and wait for delivery
3. The market price jumps to $120 💥
4. You fulfill the order at the old price — the customer saves $20 💰
5. The customer is satisfied, you strengthen loyalty 🤝
🏷️ Summary:
- Short: you sell without goods → buy cheaper → profit on decline 📉💸
- Long: you buy in advance → sell for more → profit on rise 📈💰
