Short sale

Selling shares of a stock you don't own. You complete the sale by delivering shares you borrow or that are borrowed for you.

Short sales anticipate a decline in the stock's price, which enables you to cover the sale with a future purchase of the stock at a lower price—therefore making a profit.

footnote**Options are a leveraged investment and are not suitable for every investor. Options involve risk, including the possibility that you could lose more money than you invest. Prior to buying or selling options, you must receive a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options issued by the OCC. A copy of this booklet is available at http://www.theocc.com. It may also be obtained from your broker, any exchange on which options are traded, or by contacting The Options Clearing Corporation, 125 S. Franklin Street, Suite 1200, Chicago, IL 60606 (888-678-4667 or 888-OPTIONS). The booklet contains information on options issued by the OCC. It is intended for educational purposes. No statement in the booklet should be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell a security or to provide investment advice. For further assistance, please call the Options Industry Council (“OIC”) Helpline at 888-OPTIONS or view the website at www.optionseducation.org. The OIC can provide you with balanced options education and tools to assist you with your options questions and trading.

You must buy and sell Vanguard ETF Shares through Vanguard Brokerage Services (we offer them commission-free) or through another broker (who may charge commissions). See the Vanguard Brokerage Services commission and fee schedules for limits. Vanguard ETF Shares are not redeemable directly with the issuing fund other than in very large aggregations worth millions of dollars. ETFs are subject to market volatility. When buying or selling an ETF, you will pay or receive the current market price, which may be more or less than net asset value.

All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest.
