RE: The Box The "box" is the actual container (or safe) in which brokers (once) actually kept their valuables. As a stockholder, your Dell would be "in the box". When you sell short, the broker would (hypothetically) deliver your shares on the sale, but instead of selling it would be accounted for as if your shares had been borrowed (by you). Your short has to be an opening sale, but one in which you have shares at your broker. An ordinary short sale would be opening but no shares at broker. An ordinary sale of shares held would be closing with shares held at broker.
