just a different philosophy..you have to take into account market conditions...stock conditions....and about 100 other things there were an awful lot of people that thought Cube was going down..as evidenced by the short sellers...and in fact it did... for me...the act of selling is an art.....(and I am no artist yet)and you have to know when to sell even if you have to pay the taxman.... a gain isnt a gain until it is in your hands... there are so many hedging stragegies out there EVEN SHORTING THE BOX STILL..although more cumbersome and I havent figured out the ins and outs of those rules marty posted... ...what do you think propels this market...what do you think propels the options market..it isnt that little guy... synthetic longs...synthetic shorts... covered call writing...and on and on and on.... give me a profit any day , I dont care if I have to pay the tax man... and hedge the position.... face it...CUBE IS NOT A SOLID STOCK GE IS A SOLID STOCK (btw, there are rumors that GE will not make its quarter and GE ALWAYS makes its quarter;-) cube is speculative...as evidenced by its swings in prices from low to high to where it is now...
