HOW A SHORT SELLER WORKS
Short sellers are wagering that the stock they're shorting will drop in price. The short seller buys it back at a lower price and returns it to the lender if the stock does drop after the short sale. The difference between the sell price and the buy price is the short seller's profit.
A short seller, who profits by buying the shares to cover their short position at lower prices than the selling prices, can drive the price of a stock lower by selling short a larger number of shares.
How shorts drive stock price down
If the stock price falls, you'll close the short position by buying the number of borrowed shares at the lower price, then return them to the brokerage. Keep in mind that to earn a profit, you'll need to consider the amount you'll pay in interest, commission, and fees.

How shorts hurt a company
Short sellers can prevent the company from selling stock to stock buyers. By lowering the market capitalization of a company, they can reduce a potential lender's valuation of the company. This can prevent loans and preferred stock issuances.
How do shorts rise?
THIS TO ME SOUNDS LIKE A TYPICAL SHORT POSITION (tight, slippery, and fat sit on your bum)
Shorts are more likely to ride up if they are too loose or too tight. Second, the fabric of your shorts may also be a factor. Some materials are more slippery than others and will move around more, when you run. Finally, your body type can also play a role.
We must be confident in the company we have invested in and HOLD when many shares are sold at a lower price or sell when you don’t need the money as you are giving into them.
Remember we are about to get another rise in fuel prices.
Remember we have many trillions of monies being invested in this area, why? Because this is thefuture.
