short selling

Posted by: mommy_milk_bags on Oct 10, 09:23

I'm super new to this, maybe two weeks I've had an account, been using it for about one. I don't know anything about real life stocks, I just LOVE movies. I'm very confused about short selling. I've read about it and I'm just not getting. Can anyone help it 'click' for me??

'short' is the opposite of 'buy' RazorHawk Oct 10, 09:36

If you're shorting a stock, you're betting that the price will drop. If you own one share, and it drops in price by $1, then you gain $1. {nm} Roger More Oct 10, 09:37

If you own it LONG (you did a normal BUY) when you decide it's going down, then, SELL it and SHORT it, if you want to keep it in play. edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 10, 10:58
