Short selling is a fairly simple concept—an investor or a hedge fund borrows a stock, sells the stock, and then buys the stock back to return it to the lender. In order to profit, the short sellers buys the stock at a price lower than he sold it for.

So a short seller must always be aware of the average price that he sold his shares... take the example below... Because if the stock price rose rather dropped after he sold his shares... his losses can theoretically be infinite as a stock's price can keep rising forever.

This is why short selling is far more risky than if an investor simply went long and bought a share.
