How shorts in Stocks work?

[siru]

Suppose I spend $1000 on shorting Company X's shares at current price $20 to $18.

How much profit will i get if it happens?

So you sell 50 stocks at $20...buy at $18.

$100 profit

for example if you  sold @$20 today and again you bought after 10 days @$18 do you need pay any interest for those 10 days ?
how much you need pay ?
is it only fee for buying or selling or there will be any charges?

shorting is risky compared to buying stocks...options is whole another world

you will only be paying interested if you did it using margin amount...interest varies by broker...but remember..if the security goes out of control, the broker can sell it without even notifying you

It's a good idea. Twitter might go down after results.
