Eddy, please be careful. It's such a mad time to trade that you have a high chance of making a mistake. If it's hard-earned money, wait until you feel safer. Shorting etc might or might not work, and it's as scary if not more so because stocks like to wander up as soon as the bad news slows. Take one of the courses if you like, but try practice "on paper" and see if you would have made money. If you're investing for the long term: When you buy a stock, you don't lose until you sell. It's dropping now and it might take a while to get back but selling just means you ensure you made the loss and you lose on the trade out/trade in fees. Think about it calmly, not when you see red everywhere :)
