	Short (finance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In finance, a short position in a security, such as a stock or a bond, or equivalently to be short a security, means the holder of the position has sold a security that he does not own, with the intention to buy it back at a later time at a lower price.
		Similarly, a short position in a futures contract, or to be short a futures contract, means the holder of the position has the obligation to sell the underlying asset at a later date.
		It is commonly understood that the term "short" is used because the short seller is in a deficit position with his broker.

	Financial Management (Financial Management Association): Are stock splits credible signals? Evidence from ...
		Using short interest to determine whether a stock split conveys a signal is an attractive alternative to traditional tests for at least two reasons.
		Short traders are exposed to two significant transaction costs: the opportunity cost of the margin that must be posted by the short seller, and the exposure to a "short squeeze." A short squeeze occurs when institutional investors take large positions in already heavily shorted stocks and then request delivery of the shares.
		The increase in short interest suggests that although the split may convey a positive signal that would ordinarily cause short interest to fall, simultaneous large increases in liquidity cause it to fall less than expected.

		Of course, this shouldn’t come as a surprise: A reputation for sticking to certain values is an important attribute for politicians to cultivate, which is why political ads often attack policy “flip-flops” by the opponent.
		Every round of federal and state campaign finance regulation has been preceded by high-minded rhetoric decrying corruption of the political process.
