>>When the stock is dropping and you want to sell your
long position in order to expose the short position,
you legally still need an uptick/upbid.<<

Even if I bought the stock long at one price and sold it
short 10 minutes later at a different price?

What if I have two accounts, one where I short the stock,
one where I go long? Surely the uptick rule couldn't apply.<<

Hi SKANE!

It's quiet a while back but Steve Goldman(you can scan for his name on SI and PM him) suggested the combined long/short position to be able to initiate a short position without the problems of the uptick rule. And he is the head trader with a brokerage firm (yamner.com). So i would assume it to be legal!!

P.S.Just saw that David Hayes and Peter Matzke answered your question in the later posts..(HI PETER!)
