You make money when the market crashes and lose money when the markets are up . It’s backwards trading.

Shorting 

Using a condom to only cover the tip of the penis, leaving the foreskin exposed. This is done to enhance pleasure for the male, by exposing the bundle of nerves where the foreskin attaches to the penis head. This provides the sensation of skin on skin, but allows the condom to function by catching the sperm. This does not protect against STDs and is not an approved use of a condom, but is used by many married couples who are unable to use other birth control methods and enjoy the skin on skin contact.

When I was shorting the condom, it felt like I wasn't wearnig one at all!

shorting a stock

taking an investment position that will benefit if the value of the stock goes down. Traditionally, "shorting a stock" means borrowing shares of stock from another broker, selling them, then buying them back (after the price has fallen) in order to return the stocks to the broker from whom they were borrowed.

You can short a stock using a derivative; this can include buying futures in the stock (i.e., a contract to sell someone else the stocks); or buying a put option (also called a put). A third way is to write a call (i.e., a call option, also known as a call) for the stock.

Shorting a stock usually requires a great deal of skill and courage; even the most talented short will only make money during rare crises.
