# $Robinhood(HOOD.US)Just got access to shorting on Robinhood.Man, they made this as easy as going lon

$Robinhood(HOOD.US)

Just got access to shorting on Robinhood.

Man, they made this as easy as going long.

Took a short on 5 shares of $Coinbase(COIN.US) at $167.39 and bought to close at $167.29.

Just a small trade to see what it feels like but it was as simple as buying a stock low and selling it high.

The difference is the borrowing rate + you can continue to rack up losses as a short continues to go against you, but this is a really vital tool to be released during a choppy market where active traders can use it to navigate various conditions.
