Greg, question.

How do people make money on "shorting a stock"?

I'm of the mindset that if you buy something for $6 and sell it for $7, you made a buck.

Can you explain in laymens terms (read, i have a learning problem) on how these "investors" do it? I'm NOT planning on doing this btw, but curious for educations purposes. We may have talked about this a while back, but i didn't pick it up intectually....thanx dude....


Regarding the restaurant's, I was taught by my brother "always go to the busiest place when in a town you do not know".....makes sense now.
