TeachMeFinance.com - explain Corner historic definition... Corner -- A corner in a stock is created by the purchase of all the floating or purchasable stock of a company, after which the price of it can be advanced at will. Speculators who are short of the stock and are unable to buy or borrow to make delivery to buyers or to return stock which they have borrowed are in speculative parlance squeezed. They must settle with buyers as best they can. Similar operations are conducted in grain, cotton, coffee and other speculative commodities.
