RE: RE: RE: Cash Payout?
RE: RE: RE: Cash Payout?The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the price of theassets between the sale and the repurchase, as the seller will pay lessto buy the assets than the seller received on selling them. Conversely,the short seller will incur a loss if the price of the assets rises.Other costs of shorting may include a fee for borrowing the assets andpayment of any dividends paid on the borrowed assets. "Shorting" and"going short" also refer to entering into any
derivative or other contract under which the investor profits from a fall in the value of an asset.
