Short selling WMT is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Walmart as its price is falling. WMT shares are trading up $0.13 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 Walmart?
