What is the meaning of "best stocks to short"?

Post by DiSiJr »

Hello,
I read a survey at fortune.com this morning and I did not understand the meaning of "best stocks to short".
Would someone be as kind as to let me know?
Thank you and best regards,

It means "the best stocks to sell short".

What Is Short Selling?
Short selling is an investment or trading strategy that speculates on the decline in a stock or other security's price. It is an advanced strategy that should only be undertaken by experienced traders and investors.
