Most people buy stocks and hold on to them until they grow to a certain value, short sellers manipulate the market to insure it goes down and cash in on the difference.
A company like Melvin Capital can destroy a business by shorting the stock and in fact they tried to kill Tesla a few years ago. Part of the reason Elon jumped all over this.

I won’t say they were necessarily trying to destroy GME though. Being short retail when retail is dying, and GME’s business model is dying isn’t ridiculous, it’s smart.Originally posted by BradMBut, just like condoms and women's rights, I don't believe in them.Originally posted by LeahIn other news: Brent's meat melts in your mouth.

I'm going to miss going into a store to purchase something.
