sagtag, there is nothing illegal with shorting a stock. Its all part of the daily thing that goes on a daily basis in the market. Shorting a stock is betting that the share price is going down on a stock, much like buying a stock long is betting that the stock is going up.
You are saying shorting is illegal? Please think before you post such a statement sagtag.
My true colours? Am I missing something? If your reasons to post here are just to argue and post gibberish, please just go back to the NOT forum, where such silliness is revered.
