I am afraid I can't answer your question, probably John G. can.

But I have another question for the group. Say you have a stock that goes to near zero. What good does it do you if you can't close it out? Does your broker keep the original equity tied up for the short, or only the current mkt value equity tied up? In other words, when do you get to "spend" the cash from your short? I suspect I don't enough to ask the correct question here. Any help would be appreciated.
