It is called "cellar boxing".

Also known as internet myth written by an anonymous author.


they were banking on a repeat of a R/S and/or delays in dividends

They were certainly right concerning the delays in the dividends.

And for a short to "bank", they must cover to collect any money. Otherwise, it's just an unrealized gain.


If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
