Raj... I do not have a "boxed" position nor have I taken a boxed position.... So please answer your own question.... "..Are you aware of the margin requirements for a boxed position in a single account ?..." No need for vitriol...My successful strategy has been very simple and that is find undervalued companies...understand the events that will make it move....take a position 3 to 5 weeks prior to events...then sell when the shorters scream really loud....after pushing the price even higher...while pumping just a little with solid DD...though telling everyone my targets and sells and to cover costs... Now back before the internet world I use to be an old 3 to 5 year hold guy, like Peter and Jeb,....Who extensively researched companies, met with CEO's et cetera Though with internets....internet time has compressed this time frame to 3 to 5 weeks and sometimes shorter...so I have learned to adapt... Now I am trying to adapt further and trying to make money on the short side too......Plus reading up on options...so I have more and more tools. So I have no claims of or aspirations to be an "expert" such as yourself, I presupposed, with your "news" letter...I'm just interested in making the most money I can...whatever way I can and am just making observations on this stock's recent activity...This boxing still seems like a longing for Options that aren't available on this issue. Besides..I agree with Peter when he says that the two words Professional Investor when juxtaposed are an oxymoron.. So again please demonstrate your expertise and answer your own question so you may demonstrate to all your vast and worldly experience. Thanks in advance. z
