So much crap in one post, and posted with such authority - holding long and short positions - or shorting against the box is somebody who wears both a belt and suspenders but has no trousers.

It makes sense to hold both short and long positions here.
Really??? there's a difference between shorting 20K shares against a 60K share long position,... and simply owning 40K shares long???
