I only know what you tell people by reading what you type - I cannot know what you intend to tell someone unless you express yourself in an understandable way.
Yes that is the attitude that makes you a pedantic asshole. What I said was
perfectly understandable grammatically and contextually.
>>>>>To sell a long position is to sell shares of a security you already own.
Holy fuck man you are really retarded. You think this stuff is news to me or most people here?
I say again you CAN NOT sell a long position? You can EXIT it, you can't sell it. Who is going to 'buy' your 'position'? ABSURD.
>>>>>To sell "short" is to borrow shares (usually from a broker) for the purposes of selling what you have not yet paid for.
No shit sherlock. That's why I
didn't use the phrase 'sell short' or 'short sell'. Again, short = to go short = sell. Got it yet? Fuck me.
>>>>>I hope that makes it clearer for you. I can link you to the motley fool if you'd like,
Motley Fool? Fuck off! Stopped reading that 'for the masses' shit in the frigging nineties, motley fucking fool?! JESUS.
