How do you sell stocks short?
Short selling consists of borrowing someone else's stock and selling them. You would do this since you believe that thestock will drop in price, which will allow you to buy it back at a cheaper price. It is the same concept as "buy low, sell high" but in reverse order. You will need a margin account with a brokerage firm to do this. A margin account is a brokerage account that allows you to borrow money or stock for the purpose of investing. When your brokerage firm receives your sho sell order, it will first check to see if there is another client in their firm that is holding the stock you wish to short sell in their margin account. You are not allowed to borrow the stock from an account that isn't a margin account. If the shares are available, you will be able to sell it. Short selling has a special rule called he "downtick rule". This means that your order will not execute if the last trade price on the stock was lower than the previous trade price. In other words... if the stock you wish to short sell last traded at $10 and the trade before that was at $11, your trade order will not execute until the stock "ticks" up in price. This rule was implemented to prevent short sale orders from driving down the prices of the stock during volitile and frenzied tradiing sessions. Sometimes, you may be forced to buy back the stock before you wish. This will happen because the person from whom you borrowed the stock (the identity of which you will never know) may decide to sell their shares and your brokerage firm cannot find someone else from whom you can borrow shares. This is an important risk to keep in mind when short sellling... you may be forced to buy the shares back even though you may not want to. In order for a stock to be "short-saleable", it has to be considered "marginable". there are federal rules on what makes a marginable stock, but many brokerage firms implement margin rules that are more stringent than the feds. Thus, a stock that is considered marginable in one brokerage firm, may not be marginable at another.

How are day traders taxed?
Day traders who didn't lose money on their trades are taxed at normal income tax rates, or the same rate that a short-term capital gain would be taxed. One thing to note is that day traders are sometimes subjected to the wash-sale rule because they trade the same stock over and over again. This rule means that a trader must delay their tax loss on a losing trade if they bought the same stock again within 30 days of the sale. See for further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wash_sale
