Shorting Against the Box

You are effectively shorting against the box to a degree with this strategy without the tax ramifications

There are no tax ramifications in shorting against the box for 10 months a year. That is the strategy must be taken off on January 31st and left off for approximately 60 days. Shorting against the box is also a strategy that one could put in place immediately if one is not sure what to do in the interim.
