| − | :If you really do not think it is going to happen then you should get your hands on as many negative shares as you can. This you do by selling them at as high a price as you can. Preferably as close to 100 as you can. Then you will have the lowest expences selling it. --[[user:rbl|Rasmus]] 7 oct. 2005 21:54 (CET)

| − | == Can a profit be made trading negative shares? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm a bit confused about whether it is possible to make a profit from negative shares before the bet is judged. If I bought 10 shares at 40% I would have 10 shares and be down $4 (in cash) from where I started. If the market goes up and I sell my 10 shares for 60%, then I end up with 0 shares and up $2 from where I started. Everything makes sense to me with positive shares. Now lets say instead that I found a bet that I'm sure will be judged false. I want to pick up some negative shares, so I sell 10 shares at 60%. This leaves me with -10 shares and down $4 from where I started. If the market moves down, the value of my negaitve shares goes up since it seems more likely that the bet will be judged false. If I don't want to wait for the bet to be judged, is there a way to take my profits and leave? If I simply buy 10 shares at 40%, then I would seem to be left with 0 shares and down $8 from where I started. What am I missing here -- [[User:Mark|Mark]] 8 October 2005 06:38 (CEST)

Formatting
Please format your comments the same as everyone else. Otherwise it will quickly become unreadable. Your name should come immediately after everything you wrote.
e.g.
I think that turnips should
be considered a fruit. They are tasty and
delicious, it only makes sense. -- ~~~~~
Note that 4 tildes will expand to your name and the date, 3 tildes will expand to just your name. 2 tildes will expand to simply the date.
- You can also use one or more colons (:) in front of your paragraph to indent the text. More than one asterisk (*) will indent the bullet.
Talk
Is this still active? I created an account and logged-in, but when I clicked on a topic, it returned me to the log-in page. Fredrich 03:01, 15 August 2006 (CEST)
