if I remember correctly, the short number reported last time was even higher that 3.46M.. close to 50% float shorted..
the shorts either see something very wrong with this company or they're just ready to lose shitload of money..

option = the right to buy or sell a stock at a certain price. Usually the contract is the right to buy 100 shares of a stock. Therefore, the option will have several elements: an expiry date of when u can exercise the option, the price that you get to buy or sell the stock at, and the actual cost of the option

I'm a long term buy and hold investor (saving for retirement). I buy through http://www.investments.shareowner.com
Co-op trades are $9. You can only buy their prescreen stocks though, no penny stocks or small companies allowed.
black_s2k: Read everything you can at http://www.fool.com. It's US oriented but the basics are still the same.

Where can i get started and where can i go in person to learn everything with an appointment | there really is no bare minumum. Just that how much you want to invest is limited by the amount that you have.
so say for 5000, you can buy 50 shares of share A given each share is $100. But you can buy like 1000 shares of share B if share B is only $5. So really, it all depends on how much the stocks are worth. BTW, in this case, its highly unlikely you can buy share A as there are usually minumum shares you must purchase before you place an order.

a future is an obligation for both parties entering into the contract
rights are an obligation for the seller and the right to go through with the contract for the buyer
