Put simply, short selling is predicting or forcasting that the price of a share will go down
"You borrow 100 shares and sell them for $5,000. The price suddenly declines to $25 a share, at which point you purchase 100 shares to replace those you borrowed, netting $2,500. Short selling may sound straightforward, but this kind of speculative trading involves considerable risk."
In my view the practice of shorting can be a good thing or a bad thing for investors. If a share you believe in is shorted, an opportunity to top up is created.
Personally...I love it when shorters get burnt
