Also, questions about institutional investors holding short and long positions? It's simply hedging. Every institutional investor, life insurance co., financial services co., investment bank, ect., hedges like this. Most of the time they just purchase options or futures in the same investment(or perhaps an index due to the better liquidity)... but if they are needed, they execute the contract... if not, they let the options expire and they are only out the cost of contract. No institutional investor is truely attempting to make money on the hedges as well as the long positions at the same time.... it's a one way or the other scenario, but this way they are most likely not going to lose money.
Keep in mind, when you purchase stock you know exactly how much you may lose... but shorting stock, the sky is the limit with your losses.
