You should just have shorted and then bought them back, that way you don't have to adjust your cost basis or pay crapital gains tax on the underlying stock, only on the profit from your short. P. (Note: this is not investment advice, it is not tax advice, and in fact, it's probably incorrect. This is not important since I live in my own fantasy world most of the time, a place where stocks in companies growing revenues at 60% YOY actually deserve the P/E of others like CSCO who aren't really growing, just acquiring)
