Short selling O is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Realty Income as its price is falling. O shares are trading down $0.05 today. To short a stock, an investor borrows shares, sells them and buys the shares back on the public market later to return it to the lender. Short sellers are betting that a stock will decline in price.

How does a short squeeze work against Realty Income? A short squeeze for Realty Income occurs when it has a large amount of short interest and its stock appreciates in price. This forces short sellers to cover their short interest positions by buying actual shares of O, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.
