SK,

Thanks for explaining, I understand now. If you short a stock
EX: current price 60.00
Put and order to short at 59.00
It goes down you made money
Correct.

TIA
Steph

I know what shorting is, just hard to figure. For example, I'd have thought AOL was overvalued, (PE of 457) but yet it keeps climbing. Go figure.....

PS: Now no one get started in a discussion on AOL's merits, just used as an example.
