for example you can see a 2,268$ gain on the stock called PRGN , I shorted it at 1.62 (so saying that the price of the stock will go down) . Covering is how you exit a short position .. so i covered the text morning at 1.3ish for a 2,2K win

long dosent mean that its in an uptrend . short dosent mean its in a down trend .

you should really inform yourself on googel .. just serch for : what is long in the stock market

Thanks
