How Shorting Markets Actually Works (The Big Short Explained)

Most people think investing is simple — buy when markets go up, panic when they go down.That’s usually where people get it wrong. This week on Beat the Bank, we sit down with Matthew Goodson — Managing Director at Salt Funds Management and one of New Zealand’s most experienced fund managers — who has spent decades helping investors navigate markets on both sides of the cycle. Matthew breaks down how short selling actually works, why some investors can make money when markets fall, and why reacting emotionally often does more damage than the market itself.
