That might be true if you weren't holding a volatile stock like JBII.

Here's how it works.

JBI rises on hype. You short against the box. This greatly reduces your liability and guarantees availability of shares to short, protections a normal short does not enjoy.
The stock moves up, you do nothing as you have a neutral position. The stock moves down, you cover your short pocket the profit and maintain your position for the next move up.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

It's actually a great strategy for traders, particularly those who got heavily discounted PIPE shares.

Volume and Volatility are what make the strategy work. All while reducing risk.
