Short selling AVGO is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Broadcom as its price is falling. AVGO shares are trading up $0.85 today.

How does a short squeeze work against Broadcom?

A short squeeze for Broadcom occurs when it has a large amount of short interest and its stock increases in price. This forces short sellers to cover their short interest positions by buying actual shares of AVGO, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.
