Only a fool can be taking a SHORT HEDGE short position is not free. Margin interest can be a significant expense when trading stocks on margin. Since short sales can only be undertaken in margin accounts, the interest payable on short trades can add up over time, especially if short positions are kept open over an extended period. Not to mention if the tide turned that could be a financial suicide at this point.
