Every transaction has a buyer and a seller. If I choose to serve as seller, and sell you a stock at $10 a share that you think will soon be worth $12 a share, how have I harmed you? After all you had to buy it from someone, might as well be me. Whether I actually owned the stock or had merely borrowed it is irrelevant, imo.

Thanks again Pat, I didn't know it was so followed. And I am sure brokers follow his stuff and do that. About shorting, I just can't short effectively, it is not in my being, I guess, for I never win for thinking about an infinite loss...Because I am a fiscal conservative, but a SOCIAL LIBERAL.. And I ALWAYS pay my DEBTS personally, NOT like the neocons here on SI that leave them to future generations, even their OWN children, their own grandchildren with no care or responsibility...They figure they will be just gone so what the hell.. What an attitude.. And I am mainly talking about the EARTH'S CAPITAL other than our own little shittin bank accounts....:(, But, I am like "The Village Blacksmith" "I owe no other man" At least not much..<g>.. But I could be like him as I have them all covered.. :) Take care, m
