Sell-Out

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.
Sell-Out
When a broker or investor buying stocks has failed to settle the trade in a timely manner and, as a result, the broker can forcibly sell the securities on the investor's behalf.

Notes:
A perfect example of this is when the broker sells a person's stock to meet a margin call.
