Yes, of course I was merely pointing out the similarity of thought. Now if I were placing a real order with a real broker my language would be more precise. In the real world I've never shorted a stock--so I can't say what the language would be. I dabbled with options years ago and I rembember the orders being read back in a very precise way--"to open a position" "to close a positon" I'll bet it is something like Short Google, G O O G, 100 shares, to open a short position (??) or something like that. Not as dramatic for Elroy I think.
