You short-sell 200 shares of Tuckerton Trading Co., now selling for $50 per share. What is your maximum possible loss
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Unlimited

Explanation:

GIven that:

You short-sell 200 shares of Tuckerton Trading Co

now selling for $50 per share.

If a short-sell occurs on a trade, the lower the share price, the higher the profit your are liable to achieve but if short-sell occurs and the share price is higher, then the  more loss you're going to accumulate.

From the question, the lowest possible share price is zero and the highest possible share price is infinity since there is no stop loss.

∴

The maximum possible loss = 200 × 50( 1 - infinity share price)

= Unlimited loss
