Playing & Trading Strategy

Might I add that if a movie does not do well and you have shorted it then you don't lose money you make money.

Posted by: Rigit (a.k.a beaner) on Jan 05, 12:14 in response to Flash's post Basically, here's how it works:

Shorting is the opposite of buying. If I short a stock, I'm saying it is not going to be worth it's price when it adjusts. So if a movie loses H$10/share on adjust, and you have it shorted, then it has the same effect as it would if you bought it and it went up H$10/share. Hope this doesn't confuse you too much.
