Short selling ORCL is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Oracle as its price is falling. ORCL shares are trading down $3.03 today.

If the stock does drop after selling, the short seller buys it back at a lower price and returns it to the lender. The difference between the sell price and the buy price is the trader's profit.

How does a short squeeze work against Oracle?

A short squeeze for Oracle 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 ORCL, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.
