Buy-in
Categories: IPO, Trading, Ethics/Morals
If a seller promises but doesn't deliver securities, you have a buy-in. The buyer will generally need to go elsewhere to buy the securities—and possibly at a different price. The seller is on the hook for any difference in price between what they agreed to and what the buyer actually ended up spending.
