  • Short Selling

    Regular short selling is when the seller first borrows a stock share, sells it and then buys it back, hopefully at a lower price, before returning it. If the stock declines in value, the seller makes a profit. According to Regulation SHO, a short sale order cannot be accepted without the seller having borrowed the shares, a situation which is commonly referred to as naked short selling.
