Does anyone else keep getting a lot of errors? Whenever I buy, it says (in plain font on a blank white page) that I didn't click on something, so then if I hit back and refresh, it works the second time. Also, just in general surfing around CSX it keeps getting error pages. Is this happening to anyone else? It could just be my computer, but the rest of the internet seems to be working fine.

I'm using Internet Explorer on Windows, and it happens on all of the Edmunds sites. Whenever it gives the error messages (I think it's a 404 error, if that means anything) or "Page Cannot Be Displayed", I usually try and either go back to Edmund's or InsideLine's homepage by typing it into the address bar, and it won't let me do that either. I have to go to another non-Edmunds website and then come back. I know, it is a very strange thing.

Not sure what a Cache is ( kind of a computer idiot), but I deleted cookies, temporary files, and cleared the history. No luck. I'm on my work computer & network right now, but I'll have to give it a try again when I get home & use my own computer.

Is this an error

Now I am trying to short XF and Four_Two shares but keep getting screwy prices. If I try to short either one of those shares I get prices in the low teens or single digit range. So I cancel and try to buy long then I get prices in the 90 something dollar range.
I can't figure if that is an error or just how the market software works.

What's happening is that when you short, you're betting on the stock not doing well (you're betting on it going down), so the market software is selling you the stock's "inverse". This means that if a stock is currently valued at $40/share and you short it, you will pay around $60/share ($100 - $40). Thus if the stock goes down to $30/share, and you hold a shorted position on that stock, what you paid $60 for is now worth $70, and you make a profit.

Thanks for the explanation, xed. So it looks like most of the stocks are capped at $100 - that makes sense giving their sales forecasts. The Carola must be capped at a higher amount since it's forecasted to sell more than 100,000 units in the first six months.

I still don't understand. Every stock market like game or even the real stock market when I trade using my e-Trade account sells me a stock short at its real price say 100 dollars and then when it goes down to 80 I cover my short and make 20 bucks.
