Living Diagonally In My Parallel World!

A very good story that I read on Pranav's blo g Two monks, Tanzan and Ekido, were once traveling together down a muddy road in a heavy rain. Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross a large mud puddle stretching across the road. "Come on, girl," said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud. Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple, then he no longer could restrain himself. "We monks don't go near females", he told Tanzan, "especially not young, lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?" "I left the girl there", said Tanzan. "Are you still carrying her?" ....

Let’s say Party A borrows shares when they are quoting at Rs 130 each and sells them at Rs 120. Suppose the scrip price drops to Rs 80, ‘A’ can now buy back the shares at that level.

This is known as naked short-selling. ‘A’ simply has to deposit a margin, which could range from 8%-30% of the share price. Later, he can buy the share and ‘square the position’ before the last Thursday of the month. He can roll over his position for three months. Short-selling thus puts pressure on ...
