MB, I am very happy that I am out of your league too. With all due respect to you.

Good luck with your box. MB, I know none of us wants to get into each other's business. But I should make my box more clear to you. To tell in a nut shell and in a simpler way: I shorted 275 shares of Amzn at $188 3/4 and 25 shares around there in January, therefore I am short 300 share at $188. That's the 300S. Now, in a perfect world, I would have covered the 300 shares and then bot 300 shares at $85 and holding and have a $50K profit right now. I did not do that and just trading all the way down and up and realized $25K Amzn profit as of today. As of right now, I have bought 250 shares to "Hedge" the 300 short shares, that's the 250L. Tomorrow morning, if I sold the 250 shares and then buy 300 shares, buy to cover, then my 300 short shares will be fully covered and my "box" will be gone and I will have another $7K realized gain. ($188-$164=$24 *3=$7,200) Now, If you are hoping for a much higher than $200 Amzn price, I have no objections at all. If it does come, I would like to short another 300 shares and then box down and up and down from there! Well, if it does not, I am doing OK with the old box. Actually you are a nice guy and I remember your posts clearly during Nov. Congrats to your $$$$.
