English term or phrase: short

CONTEXT: "ETFs. Perhaps the easiest way to bet against the dollar is by investing in an inverse dollar ETF. The PowerShares US Dollar Index Bearish ETF (NYSE:UDN) is the best in class with a daily trading volume around 156,000 shares. UDN shorts futures contracts as it tries to track the Deutsche Bank Short US Dollar Index (USDX) Futures Index. A better option, though, might be shorting an ETF that’s long the dollar in the form of UDN’s sibling, the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (NYSE:UUP). UUP has a trading volume that’s 16 times higher than UDNs, and some sources argue shorting long ETFs is a better strategy than going long short ETFs."

UDN vend à découvert des contrats de change à terme

Explanation:
à mon avis (expérience bancaire) c 'est la signification puisque (cas rare) le mot 'short' est utilisé en tant que verbe, à la 3ème personne.
Dans ce milieu de traders l’orthodoxie du vocabulaire n'a pas grande importance !...
