Half truths, sound so Dixon like 2b generous

The decision is made BY THE SHORTER when to CLOSE THE POSITION!


There's no specific time limit on how long you can hold a short position. In theory, you can keep a short position open as long as you continue to meet your margin requirements. However, in practice, your short position can only remain open as long as your broker doesn't call back the shares.


The $2.50 rule is a rule that affects short sellers. It basically means if you short a stock trading under $1, it doesn't matter how much each share is — you still have to put up $2.50 per share of buying power.Sep 2, 2022
