By contrast, if the investor has short positions, it means that the investor owes those stocks to someone, but does not actually own them yet.
⠀
Oftentimes, the short investor borrows the shares from a brokerage firm in a margin account to make the delivery.
⠀
If the price doesn't fall and keeps going up, the short seller may be subject to a margin call from his broker.
