            I guess who ever makes the most money wins. You trade stocks, mutual funds, etc to make money.

              Yeah, but I don't know what Open Market, Close Market, Day Sale and all that other garbage means

                Open Market means the market is open, this is from 8AM-5PM Eeastern Standered Time( I think Israel is 7 hours ahead). Close Market is when the market isn't Open!

                I think Day Sale is when you sell the stocks you bought that day.

                      Mutual Funds is when you give a company your money and they invest it for you.

                      Selling Short is when you sell stock before you actually own it. This is how you make money in stocks when the stock is going down.

                      Going Long is when you buy stocks, hold them, then sell them some time in the future.

                      It's not that hard;)
