If I borrowed something, sold it for 12 dollars, bought it back for 3 dollars to return it to the owner..... I call that a 300 % return on investment. You're thinking about the long side. For the short, your original investment is $12 and your profit is $9, so your ROI is 9/12 or 75%. (You cannot short a $12 stock with only $3 in your account, ergo it's impossible to claim your original investment was $3.) If you're playing the long side, your original investment is $3 and your profit is $9, so your ROI is 3/9 or 300%. Sam
