How does a shorter maintain margins in a rising market? Just curious. Based on a post from another board. What is it costing shorts to maintain margin balances on a position that is frozen (like TRBD)? Here's a snapshot of Asensio's recommendations in the last couple of years. Looks like he got Crystallex (KRY) right, but is feeling pain from recent gains from Able, Biotime, Coinmach, & Chromatic Color. I wouldn't be surprised but that the TRBD freeze is forcing buy-ins on some of the other positions. ticker sell rec. target curr. curr.intermediate date price price price trend ISEE 8/97 8 0? 3 down AVNT 8/97 30 ? 17.5 up ZONA 11/97 33 5 32 up BTIM 1/98 18 <2 16 up WDRY 2/98 25 <5 15 up KRY 3/98 7.75 0? 0.5 up ABTE 7/98 15 <2 10 up TRBD 8/98 15 <1 5 halted HEB 9/98 8 <1 6 down How long have Asensio's clients been shorting (buying in) before the public "strong sell" recommendation? I know you shorters think us longs are stupid...let us in on these margin mechanics if you would please? MikeC
