A phrase that the Oxford English Dictionary reports was first used in 1736. It means "to make an inventory of the merchandise, furniture, etc., in one's own possession, recording its quantity and present value, or to make a careful estimate of one's position with regard to resources, prospects, or the like."

Some short selling

The increased volatility and the level of the indices was making me a little nervous. So I decided to go short on some stocks today. I cleaned up all shares of Bartronics and RIIL. Reduced the number of shares in PFC and Nitin Fire Protection.

Bartronics has given me 111.56% returns in just 275 days. I sold RIIL at a profit of 11.73%. Nitin Fire Protection and PFC have yielded 129.32% and 122.80% returns so far.

So now the realized profit/loss table looks as follows:
