Traders/gamblers might want to use caution:
The dollar is the WEAKEST in decades and still falling, nations are announcing that they will start investing in currencies other than America's, significant credit problems are BOMBING major banks, oil is nearly $100 predicting continuing major gasoline price increases soon, home foreclosure numbers are bad and growing, housing is literally frozen and falling, some cities are reporting major gluts of housing, particularly in condos, grocery and energy prices are soaring with electricity and heating oil/natural gas expected to jump 15-20% this winter, health care costs are almost out of sight and still rising, manufacturing jobs continue to go overseas and the huge illegal alien problem remains...
...and we have a $12 BILLION A MONTH war full of corruption that we can't seem to win.

Still can not understand Short selling? How can you sell something you do not have? Sounds illegal or should be..........

You borrow your neighbors brand new lawn mower and sell it for current value $500.00. He doesn't need the mower back for 2 weeks so there is no need to return it before then and you are betting that the exact same mower will go on sale before you need to return it. It does go on sale, you buy it for $400.00 give him the new one and keep the $100 profit. It is done with his permission so no crime is committed. You get burned if there is a mower shortage and the dealers raise the price, you still need to buy it NO MATER WHAT THE PRICE IS even if you lose your shorts. And that's why it is called short selling. :)
