investing and short selling (Page 2/2) randye FEB 04, 11:28 PM quote Originally posted by maryjane: I don't get it. This sounds pretty fishy, perhaps even fraudulent. If, (as you plainly stated) my friend Cory HAS a broken down Fiero.............why, does he then buy it? Did he buy it from himself? Is by chance, Cory's real name ... Billy Sol Estes? The bigger question is did Cory open a brokerage account and a margin account before all this "Fiero trading" nonsense took place ?
