Please excuse my ignorance on these matters. Could you please explain what "against the box" means. Does the box refer to shares you own? Is this then a strategy of writing options? An example would help a lot. If this is a strategy where you own the stock...are you then opening a LEAP put (shorting against the box)?.... in which case you would open the put at a certain strike price and if the stock goes down you sell to close the position, pocket the money and buy more shares at the lower price. I have the feeling however that you are talking about something else. Perhaps you could refer me to some chapter in a book explaining this strategy in the language that you use.

Thanks.

Clinton
