The mechanics of short selling are explained in the context of the GameStop market event. Investors borrow stock at a high price to sell it, hoping to buy it back cheaper later to return to the lender. Options trading is also noted as a method to amplify potential gains or losses, though shorting carries theoretically infinite risk if the stock price rises.
