what happens if u are short a stock and it suddenly stops trading and declares bankruptcy? when are u allowed to cover and at what price? do u have to wait till all the bankruptcy proceedings are over before u can take your profit?...and cover at the price left over for the common shareholders(usually zero)? seems like your capital could be tied up for a while if u really short all the way to the END...
