Hi David, I appreciate your information, Datek, Ill check it out! I dont understand anything about shorting. I have the book The Art of Short Selling, I just started reading it. So let me see if I am following you, I can put in a sell order on a stock, say ABC Co. and at present ABC Co. is at 100 a share. I put in a sell order that I think ABC Co. is going to drop to 65. a share. Do I have to put in a date I think this will happen? Could you explain to me in laymens terms... how this works, Thanks so much! Sherrie
