Re: Shorting Within an IRA Account -- This can be accomplished by either buying protective puts or selling covered calls, both permissible within an IRA. While this isn't the same as selling short, it amounts to the much same thing -- a bet that a given stock is going to either decline in price or stay roughly where it is over a certain period of time.

I've often wondered why Bob B. is loath to discuss these quite conservative strategies. It happened again this weekend when he brushed off a question from a caller who laid out a quite logical strategy for making an almost guaranteed decent return through the use of leaps.
