"If you want to go short buy puts or sell calls.
Or even sell the stock you own and buy it back cheaper."
If you buy a put or sell a call, an options market maker is usually on the other side of the trade. How do they hedge their position, ie short a put or long a call? By short selling the underlying stock. All you're doing is short selling by proxy. It's the same for futures or cfds.
