Business Term of the day
Short-selling is the sale of a security which the seller has not yet purchased. In due course, the short-seller will have to buy the borrowed security back from someone else in the market, in order to return it to the lender. Between selling and then buying back the security, the short-seller is said to have a short position. If the price of the security falls before it is bought back from the market, the short position will yield a capital gain (and vice versa).
