I think get the basic idea, but have a few questions on a more detail level. When you approach a broker to borrow stocks you don't tell them "I'm going to short X, so lend me 100 X," right? How do you do it? I suppose there must be a fee to borrow? Will they look into your credit before they lend? If they think that the stock will go down as well, would they still lend that stock to you? Can you do it with online brokers? Is there a time limit on when the stocks need to be returned? What is an uptick and zero-plus tick?

I am curious about people who work in a Nursing Home or other nursing facility as a CNA. How do you enjoy your job? Is it rewarding for you? Does it have a lot of stress?
I have worked a year as a CNA in a nursing home and find it rewarding but very stressfull. I work full time and find it hard to enjoy my days off because I am so tired that all I wanna do is sleep. Is there anyone else that is dealing with this, and if there are, how do you deal with it.

Explaination: We are selling our home and moving to an area where we can not afford a house (Northern California) what we do want to do is buy land somewhere else and keep it for a few years and either build on it or sell.

My real question:If I use the money I make from my home selling to buy land is the taxes different or do I still get the same tax benefits I got being a home owner? Is land vs. home taxed diferent?

I'm emailing some people I'm going to be living with, and I don't think the lease is prepared yet/ready to be signed. I'm informing them in the email that I'd prefer to wait on handing over the deposit until the time I sign the lease. Is that appropriate? (Otherwise it feels like blindly handing money to strangers.)

Are there international employment agencies or headhunters that specialize or excel in placing a U.S. citizen in a job in Europe? I am mainly interested in Rome. I'm a professional with an MBA. Maybe there are agencies or consultants that specialize in helping an American find a position in Europe, and can help with all the bureaucratic details such as work permits, residency permits and so forth?
