Sell Short | ||||||||||||||
|
|
The act of selling stock that you don't own in the hope that the price will go down and you can replace it with stock purchased at a lower price. In essence, the stock is borrowed from a brokerage firm for delivery to the buyer and must be bought back at a future date. If it is purchased at a lower price, the short-seller will make money. | ||||||||||||||
