My answer: B. USD 300 loss. Si-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

My answer: B. USD 300 loss.
Simple calculation:
Short 10 shares at $100 → receive $1,000
Price rises to $130
Buy back 10 shares → pay $1,300
Loss = $1,300 − $1,000 = $300
Easy rule:
Short + price goes down → you make money.
Short + price goes up → you lose money.
The higher the stock rises, the bigger your potential loss.
Important: Short selling is riskier than normal buying because a stock can theoretically rise without limit.
