Short selling VLRDF is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Village Roadshow as its price is falling. To short Village Roadshow 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 Village Roadshow will decline in price. 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.

A short squeeze for Village Roadshow 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 VLRDF, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.
