RE: RE: missed a chance to short today
RE: RE: missed a chance to short today your 2 cents. your entitled. I short any stock in a down trend on a daily basis in my margine account. I always settle at days end, infact I have to settle at the same day. If I want the div I will hold to the e-div date. Had I been around today and sold shares I didn't own this am for 1.65 I could have covered for 1.59 and made a few bucks. I did it yesterday on 20k shares because of the high volume and the large bid and ask lots. I also shorted CPG this week after selling my shares for a small gain, and made a couple of thou on that stock too. If I have a stock that runs up I will sell it and then sell the same amount again as a short. Worse thing that can happen is I have to buy the shares at a higher price at the end of the day. It's a win win. Not sure where you learned to trade, but I took a course and it has helped my make $$ on up and down days. I just gave you a free tip that I paid for.
