Yes but not very often.

In your example it would make no difference to me that I had gone long the same day.I would treat the short the same as any short.

However if I buy a stock like IBM yesterday it would have to go up a lot for me to short it.You probably know that any stock down a huge amount can bounce quite a bit.You kinda want to be one step ahead of the stock rather than following it.Let it give you something good or find another dancing partner. :-)
