A short sale is a way to profit from a
decrease in the price of a security.
In a short sale, you borrow shares of a
company, say CBS. Then you sell the
shares you borrowed. Thus you are
"short" the shares you sold. It turns
out, according to the New Yorker,
that Les Moonves, the CBS CEO. has
been accused of sexual harassment
(Weinsteining) The Board is
investigating. There is no proof of
anything, but an allegation is
enoughto make the stock drop.
Then you "cover" your short by
buying back the shares you sold
at a lower price. You keep the diff,
less fees and commissions. This is
the "Weinstein Short." It can work at
any corporation with listed shares,
hott babes, and rich, powerful,
randy executives.
This ploy was thought up by my
wicked stepmother, Dad's second
wife. She's my age (way to go, dad!).
Actually, she's older than me, but
she's closer to my age than to Dad's.
She's also a lawyer and says this is all
legal as long as you aren't naked and
don't use inside information.
There's got to be a way to make a
sex-story out of all this, but I've got
Writer's Block right now.

PS A "naked" short is where you don't
have the money to buy back the shares
you sold.
PPS The way the sex story would work
is someone sends someone like me,
only hotter, into a big corporation. After
the short is in place, the girl gets herself
Weinsteined. She "#mee toos" and they
cover the short.
