    Id recommend doing neither if youre not comfortable with the terms.

    Shorts can be particularly dangerous. Puts/Calls tend to at least be a static gain or loss, although it can be large as well.

    In this instance where you want to bet money on a stock falling, you would buy a put or sell a call. You can buy and sell for different time frames and different total amounts, but that’s extra complexity. Start very small, standard length and only 1 contract at a time.
