14 hrs confidence: 
to short (the) stock Explanation: In this case, my choice would be "after shorting the stock." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2012-02-13 06:08:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Only one stock involved: Cortox. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2012-02-13 13:38:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's a reference for a definition of short a stock: http://beginnersinvest.about.com/od/investingglossary/g/shor... Or, for those who prefer the verbing of compound nouns: "after short-selling the stock." http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/shortselling.asp |

14 hrs confidence:
(after) shorting the company's shares Explanation: Or selling them short, but the verbing of 'short' is appropriate here. For a US audience, you could say 'stock' instead of 'shares'. But NOT 'stocks' in the plural. Only one company's stock (mass noun for the shares) is involved. 'Stocks' would imply several different issuers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day5 hrs (2012-02-13 21:03:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There are two meanings of "short sale" in finance, and the *other* one (sale of a property for less than the amount owed on the mortgage loan) is much in the US news lately. It appears that the transitive compound verb "short-sell" is applied to both kinds of short sale, but I can't find any instance of the transitive verb "short" applied to the second. (Shorting is actually shorthand for taking a short position, which is not at all what happens in the sale of an underwater property.) Jenny may prefer "short-selling" as a verb participle/gerund, but the OED has no entry for it (yet). It does have one for "short" v. in this sense.:-) |
