BPP,

Thanks for the information about shorting. I now have a good impression what it does.

Shorting looks a lot like 'put options' in the Netherlands. Put options are options that give you the right to SELL for a certain price.

The other kind of options we can get in the Netherlands are call options that give you the right to BUY for a certain price.

The main difference between shorting ang put options are that for shorting you need money or other posessions 'in the pocket' or otherwise you can make large losses. For put options you only need the money that cover the option price.

jeroen
