How will one make a profit?

If I borrow when shares are trading at 2bob and sell them when they are trading at 3.what will be my profit If I end up buying the same shares at 3 in order to repay back the shares or can I repay back the shares in cash at a price when the borrowing took place?

You wait till the price hits 2bob or below according to your bet you rebuy and obtain shares equals to or more than previously borrowed. You can see there's a profit captured in that scenario. And for the converse losses are registered.

Is there a max repayment period?

Disaster for Kenya. Didn't the world learn from the derivatives-driven financial crisis of 2007/08 whose effects are yet to play out in full a decade on?
