To understand this first look at Long, Long is when you have bought a stock, when you think that the stock would move upward. While Short is when you have sold a stock(even if you dont own it), when you think that the stock would move downward.1. What is Short?
You cannot carry stock short beyond intraday, but can carry short position in futures and options.
When you buy and sell a stock you are having a 'position' in those stocks. Either long or short.2. What is Position?

What are Futures?
How they are different from shares?
Thanks in advance!
A 'Future' is a contract to buy or sell the underlying asset for a specific price at a pre-determined time. If you buy a futures contract, it means that you promise to pay the price of the asset at a specified time. If you sell a future, you effectively make a promise to transfer the asset to the buyer of the future at a specified price at a particular time.

What are Options contracts?
The road to success??.. Is always under construction.
Options contracts are instruments that give the holder of the instrument the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price. An option can be a 'call' option or a 'put' option.
A call option gives the buyer, the right to buy the asset at a given price.
Similarly a 'put' option gives the buyer a right to sell the asset at the 'strike price' to the buyer. Here the buyer has the right to sell and the seller has the obligation to buy.

Dear Copycat,
Option is a financial instrument that is used to decrease( or increase- eg speculation) risk in the investments. It gives the 'buyer' of the option right but not obligation to buy (call option) or sell(put option) an asset on a particular previously decided date(eg european type option) or any date before expiry date (eg american type option).

ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amounts) is a process developed by the Securities and Exchange Board Of India (SEBI) for applying to IPO. In ASBA, an IPO applicant's account doesn't get debited until shares are alloted to him/her.
