In reply to the discussion: I know little-to-nothing about stock trading. Can someone please give me the "Dummie's" version of [View all]A HERETIC I AM
(24,366 posts)I am fairly familiar with the difference between having a short vs. a long position, and I know they come in many shapes and sizes, but I appreciate the Wikipedia cut and paste.
You think Im being hostile, merely because I pointed out an inaccuracy in your explanation?
Wow.
If you had more confidence in your readers instead of assuming that they needed to have an explanation written for a layman, I wouldnt have said a word.
I dont give two shits if you got praise for what you wrote, but if you are going to give an explanation on a question that has an easily discoverable answer, why dumb it down?
The OP asked a fairly simple question, one that is easily researchable and has a SPECIFIC answer, and your explanation was inaccurate. How is pointing that out deemed to be hostility?
Never mind. You win. You are correct and I was out of line.
Have a good day.
