Sell Short

What is Sell Short?


1.

1) To sell something (usually a stock) that one does not own, with the anticipation that the item's value will decline and they will be able to buy it back at a later date for a lesser price.

2) To deny someone credit that they deserve. This is generally something a person does to him/herself.

1)

I sold your sister short last year for $100, then bought her back this year for a can of Skoal and a junior bacon cheeseburger. Damn that rag has really started to circle the drain.

2)

You: "So you're not going to let me beat it up, are you?"

Girl: "Nope, sorry. Denied! But don't sell yourself short...3 inches isn't really that small. At least you've got my chihuahua beat...I think."
