Answer:
Definition of 'Shorting'
Definition: In capital markets, the act of selling a security at a given price without possessing it and purchasing it later at a lower price is known as shorting. This is also termed as short selling.
Description: Shorting is largely done with the motive of earning profits by purchasing the securities at a lower price later on. Once shorting is done, the purchase of the same securities in order to book profit/loss is known as short covering.
Example: If a trader purchases 100 shares of X Ltd at Rs 100 each and later on the price of each share falls to Rs 80, then the trader can book profits by short covering them. By short covering at Rs80 each, the trader would be able to earn profit of 20x100= Rs 2000.
