Best way to short a stock

[anonymous-user]

Any suggestions on the best platform to use to go short against a stock? Thank you

[Condi]

IG Index or any of the spread betting companies?

etoro.com is easy to use

What does that actually mean, in English ?

Selling something you dont own, expecting to buy it back when it is cheaper.

Be careful of charges, being polite about it I believe eToro might be a bit cheeky.

Plenty of good options about though, personally I'd go for CMC or IG
