Default Re: short a local biz

What if I see a local shop opening up and I know that it is going to fail and fail quickly...how can I profit from this?

Ask to "borrow" the business for a year. Sell it. When it fails, buy it back at a discount, pocket the difference, and return it to the original owner.
