    Can a big firm short stocks, & futures

    Can a big firm short stocks, futures or options? I don't think it's a law, but since a short sale is borrowing a security and selling, then buying it back? IF so who does the big firm borrow the security from? I mean big firms like Merill, JP Morgan, and so on.

    bye-bye Martha -- be sure to write

    I wouldn't say it's bye-bye, at most she may get a few of months in jail and a fine, and not some hard nose prison either. The money involved in the stock sale wasn't millions of dollars, so she won't get that much.

    Is 56 winners out of 64 total positions a good trading record?

    I'll admit I'm new and young and still learning, but one thing I've learned from this site is the real traders, the profitable ones, aren't posting all the time on here, and the few times they do post, it's usually to give some information about a question, not what their trade results are.
