Why would you want a current investment of yours to go down? It doesn't make much sense..

  >> Why would you want a current investment of yours to go down? It doesn't make much sense. It makes plenty of sense if financial gain isn't the absolute, single overriding principle guiding their outlook. (Also, this is unlikely given that OP classified themselves as a casual investor, but it is possible they intend to short the stock.)

    It's called "short selling" because you sold it, and no longer own it. Also, in economics and finance, the term "investment" almost always refers to an asset in which you have long exposure.
