<< review queue entry 56148 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "sell short" doesn't mean "sell future assets". It means "contract for the sale of securities or commodities one expects to own at a later date and *at a lower price*" (my emphasis). That last bit is significant. AHD @ short-sell v.tr. To make a trade that produces a return inversely related to the price of (a security or index). v.intr. To make a short sale. "sell short", on the other hand, is ambiguous. It can mean "underestimate the true value or worth of someone, as in 'Don't sell her short; she's a very able lawyer.' " |
