I'm wondering if it's possible to perform a short sell on Robinhood. I've been trading on the platform for a while, but I'm not sure if this specific action is allowed or how to do it.

Robinhood does not provide the service of short selling, which is a financial strategy where investors borrow shares from a broker and sell them immediately, hoping to buy them back later at a lower price to profit from the difference.

Despite not offering short selling, Robinhood does provide alternative methods for investors to potentially profit from a decline in stock prices.

One such alternative is buying put options, which give the holder the right to sell a stock at a specified price within a certain time frame.
