売うり抜ぬける

ichidan verb, intransitive verb

sell out before a price drop; sell at a profit

Primarily used in stock/asset trading contexts. Implies selling while the price is still high to secure profit or avoid loss. The second gloss 'sell at a profit' is a natural extension of the same action.

• 株かぶ価かが下さがる前まえに売うり抜ぬけた。

  I sold out before the stock price fell.

• 彼かれはうまく売うり抜ぬけて大おおきな利り益えきを得えた。

  He skillfully sold at a profit and made a large gain.
