So if a stock is up and I think it's going to go down I do that or I sell it? Or is it if a stock is down and I see it continuing to go down I short it? I'm sorry if this too simple for me to get, sometimes things take me a bit..

'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
