German term or phrase: Leeres Depot
Can anyone help with this please? I only need to know how you would say leeres Depot in English in this context:
Leerverkauf, im Engli­schen als Short selling bezeichnet, bedeutet, dass Wertpapiere verkauft werden, die man nicht besitzt („leeres Depot“), sondern sich tem­porär von einer Bank ausleiht.
Thanks for any help
