F&O stocks: UltraTech Cements, Cholamandalam Investment and Finance among 5 stocks with short buildup

To understand it we have to look at what “short selling” means. When a trader is expecting the stock prices to fall, he may sell the stock without owning that and buy at a lower price, for example, stock XYZ is trading at 100, a trader sells the stocks at Rs 100 and buys it back at Rs 90. He made a profit of Rs 10. Selling the stocks without owing the underlying stock is called short selling.
