i have never done trading before, and i hope i will be able to open a account with either scottrade or sharebuilder
i think if i buy x number of stock of company A, i am long on it, right?
how do i go short on company B, is it called a futures trading or options trading?…can you point me to some website which can explain to me about it?
practical way to do it will be appreciated.
i think it can be done on online websites
some one read my mind (i am not surprised the whole world is not thiniking about the same trade).
i do want to go long EMC anticipating that their price has to increase, else VMW price has to decrease.
keep in mind that i am not going to put a lot of money in this trade, only around $2-4k.
