Do you mean short selling shares or taking a short position? I only short sale under very specific conditions and only when the borrow fee is non existent or virtually free. If you mean a short position then all the time. With options you’re always short something. You can be short theta or short delta or short vega. You’re always long some things and short other things that’s kind of the point of options.
