Ted,

Can only speak for on-line brokers e-Schwab and Datek. E-Schwab offers the option to buy and sell or buy to cover and sell to short, thus giving you the boxing capability. (One may need it with them; they often don't have shares.)

Datek offers only buy and sell. But I have never had any difficulty getting shares to short; so, while the boxing strategy isn't there, it hasn't mattered--at least in my experience.

Regards, Carl
