I'm starting to learn how to trade stocks and options, still just wanting to learn the foundation. How does one buy a "short" stock? Or short a stock? On webull when I buy stocks I can only just buy and sell but I can't really buy a stock and sell it for a loss for big profit? If that makes any sense?
