With the drop in the price of Apple's shares from nearly $200 in late December to nearly $160 today, Mark Robertson is closing out his short position at today's closing price: $160.89. |

If you recall, Mark sold 20 shares of Apple that he didn't own. So, he owes 20 shares. He's now purchased 20 shares, so he now owns no shares of Apple. Since he purchased the shares at a greater cost than he sold them, he's now "realized" a loss.
