How do I enter a short position? I use Virtual Brokers. I know what a short position is, but how do i go about doing it?

just updating...the stock hit 2.43 today and has had its price target raised to 2.70 on some accounts. Low P/e, good accounting sheets, housing boom in the states...should by most accounts keep going up. WEF has a very large worldwide customer base as well, and hasn't been effected by the pine...

It was floating around the lower prices until a few days ago

Since i posted this, the stock has gone from 1.60 ish to 1.75 it peaked today. it just broke it's 52 week high and its still got a pretty low p/e ratio. looking at its competitors it is under valued in every way.

well I sold my "blue chip stocks" because although they were growing I didn't have as much leverage. I generally don't buy anything unless I have enough logical evidence as to why it should go up, it's worked for me so far, although I've made small mistakes, mistakes that wouldn't have cost me...

I traded 40 shares of bank of Nova Scotia today, I don't have enough money to take full advantage of the dividend benefits. purchased at 57 dollars, sold at 63.30. either going to see where the markets are going (TSX for now) since my stocks have been growing for a while now, and the BNS shares...

great post, what do you mean by a sideways market?

I've only done one trade based on a trend, i'm generally an overly skeptical person - more of a realist than a dreamer. When I caught the trend the stock had already been going up for 4 days, I held it for about 2-3 days. It was a very cheap stock too, I think I made close to 25% in that short...

First off i'd like to introduce myself... I'm a 2nd year marketing student, I developed a big interest in finance mid way through my first year after attending a WFG meeting (which seemed cheesy, but I liked the powerpoint) I figured I needed to understand how money worked if I wanted to make a...
