<<<If you wait a couple weeks, you can still exit with your shirt on. Sometimes>>> I would say ALWAYS. But sometimes we do not have the capacity to carry the losses while we reach our objectives. Although shorting is a lot more risky because the overall trend is upward and will always be (You may disagree on that ? :-) But thats just a difference of opinion) and while longs just have to wait patiently (I waited almost 3 months on those YHOO calls), shorts may not have the luxury of time. Boxing seems to be a terrific strategy. I just don't have that kind of capital to tie up in creating a box, otherwise I'd love to try it myself.
