Dai,
A rollover is the process of keeping a position open beyond its original expiry date.
The position can be both held long or short.
Many leveraged trades bought on credit have an expiry date attached to them, at which point the position will automatically close and any profits or losses will be realised. In some circumstances, however, the trade can be rolled over. This means that profits or losses will be realised and the trade gets a new expiry. Often, a rollover will come with an associated charge.
You could open a position on credit and just pay the interest for the period the trade is open, if it reaches the maturity date and you want to roll it over for say another month, you'll pay a fee to the broker for doing so.

I'll let you know if/when I jump in, but suspect there could be a bit more downward pressure in the short term.
