"So, he buys the stock when he thinks it is going up and sells those shares when he thinks the share price is going down. All the while holding his short position. He calls this boxing the stock."

He calls it boxing in order to not admit the inevitable. Really what he is doing is just hedging. Regardless, he is trapped and will have to cover sometime. Should probably do it, and just take his medicine. We all win some and lose some. I would hate to be hit with a margin call on this, thats for sure. Shorts are suffering from pride and denial.


Thanks for the posts though. Good info.

just my 2 cents
