naked short

The investment position of the underwriting firm for a new issue when the underwriting firm has sold more shares short than will be issued. A short position prior to the issue permits the underwriter group to stabilize the price of the stock by becoming buyers immediately following the deal. A naked short allows the underwriting firm greater stabilization ability. See also greenshoe.
