Be careful, shorts are generally not for retail investors.

Shorting is about predicting when a stock will go down.

Not that it will go down.

Because

- there is no limit to how high a stock price can go

- the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent

there are ways to cover yourself, either buy a put (like he mentioned) or if you are short shares then buy a call. both of these have defined risk. also more advanced options strategies would let you adjust where you'd profit and where your risk is in the trade
