Options are quite a bit more complicated that simply buying or shorting stocks so I would avoid call options and put options if you are not familiar with them. If you are trying to enter a short order you would choose "Sell Short". When you want to cover your short postion you would choose "Buy to Cover". I provide more detail in the post.

Like, I am a small time investor and I invest through sharebuilder. There I have option trading which I have subscribes to, but its hard to understand the "call option" and stuff like that. Can you tell us how exactly the "shorting" thing works with those online brokers such as "sharebuilder"? Thanks A Joe Hi Phillip,

CAAS's financial numbers will improve in the future and the stock price will reflect the improvement at some point. Updown doesn't show the porfolios of the winners but you can send the top investors a message through UpDown to see what they are buying. A few weeks ago I sent a message to the person with the highest return to see what she was trading and she responded pretty quick. Phillip Hello Eve,

And thank you for the link, I will look it up. I bought CAAS at $5.8, holding on. I am losing big time in TMA, bought at $1.57, hope the patience pays off.
