Anthony, I've just sent in a check for my husband and I to attend the seminar. Even though I haven't posted or shorted anything yet, I'm learning. I've been lurking here for the last 17,000 posts enjoying the education immensely. I just wanted to say "hello" and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you folks that regularly post here and make this such a great thread. Sincerely, SoccerMom

Question for the thread?? I have traded stocks for a while but have never shorted before, could someone please explain margin calls to me? If I short a stock and it goes down from there, do I have to meet a margin call or is it only when the stock goes up and goes against you? Thankyou for your help. This is a great thread.
