Ken; Mostly I trade the QQQ in this maner. It just speeds up getting short, on top of that you can't always get qqq shares to short and all short sales have to be OKed by a broker if for no other reason than to see if they have the shares to lend. To go long you buy twice what your short..to go back short you just sell all. Once short it pays not close the short directly until you know you won't want to be short agian for a long while. Speed..and getting the shares makes holding a boxed position better than shorting and covering over and over. Jim
