<<Barney, boxing is being long and short the same stock. I have played
some fast moving stocks as follows:

1. Buy the stock on the way up..
2. The stock is now higher than I am comfortable with, so I short it
(creating a box) I am now neutral with a locked in profit.
3. The stock starts down, so I sell the long position, leaving only the
short position.
4. Stock drops and I take profit on the short position.

Now if I just always make that theory work........>>

Can you just box it at the start ???
If it goes up and you believe it is overdone, just take the
long leg off.
If it goes down, then take the short leg off.
Of course, if it does not work out, you might lose both of
your legs ...
