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.
