Amots - <<I boxed my position today (using 2nd broker to avoid new rules) >> PMFJI, but the tax rules apply to you, not your broker(s). No matter how many brokers you use, if you sell a stock short that you already own, you are 'short against the box' and must cover the position within 30 days after the end of the year and then remain long for 60 days thereafter to prevent the short sale from being taxed as a 'constructive sale'. Clintonomics at work. Regards, Don
