    Nothing needs to go up. Shorting stocks lets you make money off of them when they go down. If a person or group of people can cause a crash and know in advance what day it’s happening, they can borrow stocks and then buy the stock to repay the loan at a lower price and pocket the change.

      That is also an option.

      Honestly there’s a lot of ways to make money in the market if you know what’s going to happen in the coming days that will affect it.
