An investor sold 100 shares of ran common stock short at $50 per share. the ran is now at $38. the investor is still bearish on the stock but would like to protect that gain. what would you recommend if this were your client

Respuesta :

If the investor is my client, i will advise him to enter a buy stop order at $40.

What is the buy stop order?

In the share market, these are protective tool that are mainly for short sellers.

Now, as the stock should begin to rise from its current price of $38, once it reaches or exceeds $40, a buy order at the market is entered.

Hence, the stock purchased is used to cover the short position and the investor's profit is the $50 sale price minus the cost of the purchase.

However, because the investor is short term person, the only protective order would be a buy and not a sell.

Therefore, i will advise him to enter a buy stop order at $40
