Το κολοσσιαίο κέρδος της Paulson and Co αποκαλύφθηκε επειδή οι επενδυτές είναι υποχρεωμένοι από τις 13 Ιουνίου να αποκαλυπτουν οποιοδήποτε short selling προτίθενται να κάνουν σε βρετανικές τράπεζες.
Το short selling είναι δανεισμός και πώληση μετοχών μιας εταιρίας, με προοπτική επαναγοράς της μετοχής στην συνέχεια σε χαμηλότερη τιμή.
Το hedge fund, ή οποιοσδήποτε άλλος επενδυτής, βγάζει κέρδος από την διαφορά.
