"If you didn't buy on margin would that benifit you"
Welllllllllllll. your plan is to short a stock? To buy a stock and hope that it goes down....and make money from the decent? Well now you are asking for opinons, not facts. I don't do that.
Here is what you do. There is a IHub message board for EXACTLY these kind of questions. There are some absolutely great folks over there who know a whole lot about everything.
Take a trip over there...post the question and see what kind of very educated, understandable answers you will get.
