Anyone here SHORT stocks?
 

If so, post your plays :)

you need stock sale to you?

lol. Shorting stocks. Borrowing them from a market maker and selling them. Wait for the price to tank then buy back. Profit = spread between sell price and buy price.

I'd short more stocks, but everytime I try to get shares from my shitty Canadian broker they don't have any to short.

I shorted TOL brothers a month ago for about a 15% move. Very hard to get big swings in this market.

I don't think I'll get in trouble for this one.. but I've been reading allstocks.com forum for a while. I just opened a account with choicetrade.com and plan to play in the penny market.

just futures, forex and other commodities

stocks move too slow for me

cool post, I'll check em out.

Hit me up and I'll link you to a real good post on the penny stocks which is the method I will be following. The guy that made the post made 1100% last month on his original $740 investment.

He was up to over $11k by the 14th of this month but I haven't seen where he is at now. But this guy has the best method that I've seen for making money with penny stocks.

My accounting 201 prof yelled at me the other day.

He was trying to make a point for the basic accounting course. He said something like "Would you buy a stock you knew would go down?"

I started laughing and saying "Of course!" He yelled at me to shut up because I would just confuse the rest of the class. :(

Short stocks...... damn, I thought this thread was about Short SHORTS! "Who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts!". Maybe next time?

I have shorted stocks and made a few sheckles.

Cineplex was a good ride down.

I don't see shorting as good in this market.

That could change all of a sudden if Citibank and Bank of America really have fucked themselves with derivative plays. But that is just rumour right now.

If you have a high tolerance for risk, then shorting can be a fun "game". You'd have more fun though going to vegas, playing the tables, and fucking a few strippers.

On the other hand, if you want to actually make some decent money, look to penny stocks. The right system will give you the holy grail : low risk, high return.
