This story is available exclusively to Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Investor Carson Block says he s had to trade more frequently to fight the risk of short squeezes.

What is short selling? Whipsaw for GameStop stock puts scrutiny on the practice

In an example from Steve Foerster, finance professor at Western University s Ivey Business School, say you think a stock trading for $100 is overvalued, because you think its shiny new product isn t any good - it s worth just $50 for a share. You can borrow the stock, sell it at $100, and plan to buy it back later at the lower price pocketing the $50 for yourself. But the stock market is never a sure thing. If the stock instead goes up in price, it can lead to losses for a short-seller. If the short seller has to buy the stock back at a higher price instead of their expected lower price, it can drive up the stock price even further, creating what s known as a short squeeze.
