short selling specific to india
user
in india the short is what is called in other markets call as "naked short" [i think i got the right term]. it means that you can only short sell intra day and by the end of the day you have to buy back the shares [at whatever price, if you don't; the exchange will do it by force the next day]. in other markets the intra day shorts are not allowed and one can short for several days by borrowing shares from someone else [arranged by broker] india has a futures market, so you can sell/buy something today with the execution date of one month. this is typically a fixed day of the month [i think last thursday]
