I'm going to give you this iPhone 17, but I want it back in a year, OK?

I'm going to give you this iPhone 17, but I want it back in a year, OK? Random, but OK. I don't need a new phone... I can sell this now and pocket $1,200. Then when Apple comes out with the iPhone 18, they'll discount this model, that's when I'll buy it back for $800 and profit $400 in the meantime... 1 YEAR LATER... Hey man, do you have that iPhone 17 I gave you last year? Yeah, here it is. I do have a confession, though. Oh? I sold it the day you gave it to me knowing the price would go down. Then I bought it again last week now that it's an "older model". So you borrowed my iPhone... And when it came to returning it, you bought it back for less than what you sold it for. So you made a profit on me? I guess I did. Sorry man. Then you've learned the lesson, my friend. What lesson is that? That's what shorting a stock is. You borrow a share of a stock. And when it comes to returning it, if you can buy it back for less, you make money. But if not, you take a loss. That TOOK you a YEAR to explain? No, it took about 45 seconds, which is the length of this video. You better follow this account now.
