Short positionOccurs when a person sells stocks he or she does not yet own. Shares must be borrowed, before the sale, to make "good delivery" to the buyer. Eventually, the shares must be bought back to close out the transaction. This technique is used when an investor believes the stock price will drop.Short position Similar MatchesCovered positionCovered positionUse of an option in a trading strategy in the underlying asset is already owned.
