You can hold a short position for as long as you're able to keep up your margin and maintenance, and pay your daily fees to your broker.
If the stock goes up sharply, your broker's clearing firm may get cold feet, and issue a buy-in notice. But if that doesn't happen, you can hold your position for as long as you want to.
It's just the opposite--and more expensive--version of being long.
If you short a stock do you have to cover yourself that day or can you cover yourself the next day or even a week later?
Nor am I. I don't think the first day really counts at all, except to establish a baseline. It's the second day that's important. The idea is to prevent pump groups from taking a dead stock from nowhere to the breakout boards in a few hours.
That would be pretty difficult considering the main first group is very organized and they wouldn't be sending memo's to the DD board.
By the time the local mobs hit the board along with the chart guy, it's taking the prescribed nose dive into the abyss.
Nope. Look at "news" for PTOI, for example:
https://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=news&symbol=NO^PTOI
It did a name and ticker change in August 2014.
well that's cool. i thought the history would be lost.
No, Warren's able to do it if you ask. Charts, too.
i figured that was a lost cause.
Yes. But they haven't hooked up the old news and historical prices yet. We may have to ask specifically for that. I've had to in the past.
I see. You just get a blank page. I'll wait a few hours, and if it still doesn't work, I'll mention that on the Q&A board.
well. not quite. click on detailed quote. i'm sure it will come around.
I see IHub just got that fixed...
I agree. Warren almost always answers when I PM him. I wonder if he's on vacation.
i just don't understand why if otcmarkets can get it why can't ihub. warren was pretty good at getting the grey market bids and asks done manually but i think he may have tired of that as the last one i sent him has gone unchanged. time for advfn to get on the ball.
ADVFN feed can be problematic in the case of name/ticker changes. RMGX changed its name to Ecrid and its ticker to RMGXD a couple of weeks ago. Somebody--I think Renee--informed the admins of that, and the ticker and name were changed. But a week later, it was still showing no data. I wrote to Warren about it, but didn't get a reply. Just checked again, and it's working properly.
More often, there's no data on the first day of a name/ticker change. But if there's nothing tomorrow, we should bring it to their attention again.
thanks alot.
but back on the topic of off topic, there seems to be a bunch of people on the dolv now jbzy board who are worried that because of the ticker trade, they lost their shares.
and why can't ihub get a data feed for the new ticker?
I am so sorry for you, your family, and Lucky.
it feels like there is a ghost in the house.
I'm very sorry to hear this.
He will continue watching over you and your family, but this time from doggy heaven
Sorry to hear. I hope the 17 years of his companionship cut the harshness over time. I lost a world-traveled canine of a dozen years and that was tough. They move along, but the good memories remain. All the best.
We all know what it's like...
thank you so much, everyone. you have all helped a lot.
So sorry to hear of your loss of your much-loved Lucky. I remember well when my 15-yr-old Sheltie Brandy went back in 2005. I was heartbroken at the loss of a cherished member of my family, as I imagine you are feeling now. I have never quite understood why God gave us the dog as Man's Best Friend, then gave them such a short lifetime and Man such a long one. Perhaps it was so that we could have many Best Friends within our lifetime. I like to think so. . .

Oh man, sorry to hear that,
I still carry the ashes of my last two in the trunk of my car,
in the car with me right where they'd most like to be.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
May you come upon another friend who will love your family unconditionally as Lucky did and for you all to love.
We're just fortunate that we are able to enjoy the time we get with our friends while we have them. I'm sure Lucky considered himself fortunate he had a friend in you...
I know you will miss him for quite some time.
So very sorry.....We're still mourning our beloved border collie.
Now the memories of Lucky and all the great times you had together will help remind you and your family every day how 'lucky' you were to be part of his life. Hold the memories close to your hearts as Lucky was integral to your lives.
All dog (and cat) owners have walked in your shoes so we know the pain when they leave us.
Warmest thoughts your way, friend!
So sorry to hear that my friend. You were also lucky.... to have him as your companion for so long.
Like the loss of a close family member, I'm sure. Very sorry to hear this.
Oh, I'm so sorry. It's hard to lose a member of the family, even though he'd lived a good long life.
You should post a photo of him...
lucky, mydog, died peacefully today at the age of 17. lucky was a herding dog and he did his dog job well. he kept this family together. he will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
Oh yes. I remember a graduate seminar in which a student was giving her paper. The teacher at some point asked her why she believed whatever it was she'd just said.
She explained: "I read it in a book!"
Her graduate career didn't last long.
That thought never entered my mind...
Wonder how long you're going to be able to keep it a free and open board instead of premium.
That would be a graft, right? (-:
The roots have rotted.
Yes. Because we know, patience always pays off in the Land o' Stinky Pinkies.
there is a feeling of getting more sterile and lacking in character or texture.
Typical indications of the slippery slope the country is now on. The rise and fall of civilizations. . .
Newly
. i think history says there is no going back
Unfortunately all too true. While I would love to believe we can 'make America great again' practically speaking, it ain't gonna happn.

I've bemoaned the fact for a while now that interaction on the net consists of a dry cutting and pasting of links back and forth constitute conversations as if being pointed out to be wrong is a mortal sin. While we're undoubtedly getting smarter there is a feeling of getting more sterile and lacking in character or texture.
The terms "stupid" and "ignorant" are not synonymous.
Today as a species we are smarter than ever. . .and doubtless more ignorant! Amazing how an abundance of ready information on all subjects creates the opposite effect from what one would reasonably expect!
Newly
Part of the problem is that psychologically people tend to put more credence in the written word whether in a newspaper or on the Net. It relates to the old saw "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear". In this day and age we could add "and question everything you read!"
Newly
o.k., you make some good points and duly noted. however, these times are different. things are faster and the easy access to information is strangely making learning a lost art. it is my belief that never before has the percentage of stupid people been higher. i know there are boards for politics so i won't belabor the point but the current political situation not only in this country but in all developed countries is an indication of that stupidity. is there an answer, a fix? probably not. i think history says there is no going back. well, not since the dark ages but they didn't have computers then.
I guess so. But maybe someone will inject new life with a reverse merger.
Yeah, but they've bare sticks for years now. Is that nature's equivalent of .0001 no bid?
