Box it. That way you can come back later when no shares are available. The capital requirements are very low.. Heck I am at less than 5%.. To think, I was bumming when I boxed at 83.. In hindsight, I saved myself 30 points which would have completely wiped me out.. As it stand now, when I unbox, I will have to close some of my shorts just to meet the mainanence margin if it goes any higher David, The problem is both brokerage firms I use require the additional equity for the long position as the short. Therefore, boxing is not financially feasible now. It was a good idea at one time. I very much appreciate your suggestion. Glenn
