From 10:30 AM to about 1:30 PM there is a skip in trading looks like to me, what caused the skip?

Ah, patience, Senior Members and sweet patience. God I love Pricks.

Some clarity after reading suggested threads on shorting. I sell my brokers stock, agreeing to replace his stock in a time period. I guess I was hung up on the front end selling. If the market is swinging downward, and I am hoping for buyers in declining momentum, do the buyers ever get scared...

"why would anyone sell increasing value" too make money, I get that, but, PATIENCE please, to sell short I must have a buyer, what is their strategy telling them?

Peter, "Short at 50, that means I chose earlier to sell at a set $50 price? I guess shorting has always confused me What am I hoping to happen with a short strategy? You had to have a buyer at 30 just like I had to have a buyer at 50, I made money, you made 20 more money, but why would anyone...

Please name these things. Expand. Share, O'Wise One! jr

LOLOLOL Yep, you are right. But I will have plenty of play money!!! :)

What life attitudes will hurt me in trading?
