RE:I coveredAre you high?
You are implying you sold 18000 shares short at 10.75 and then covered them at 10.29...
No broker would let you enter a short position when have an existing long position. Unless the story is you sold 50000 shares and then another 18,000 short.... but then simultaneously entered into a long call options play.
Not to mention the entire thing about selling to buy a house makes no sense... since the amount of margin to go short is the same as holding the long position you said you sold.
Unlike other boards... lets keep trade specifics out of posts and just post sector/company information/discussion. As much as I like the Shenty trade of the day.
