as far as margin interest goes, why would I incur margin interest from short selling if I have a large cash balance in my brokerage account? I'm not exactly clear on that. TIA.

Adam, there was one time when I boxed a position but it was when I shorted RMBS and they tried to tear my head off. :-)

I boxed it until it topped and sold the long and held the short but I agree with you that it is not a good practice and sure isn't fun.
