[quote=Anonymous]Yes correct, it's the DIA ETF. Sorry to be unclear, this is learning curve for me. I have no idea what he was thinking initially, but he must have thought he could control the risk of unlimited losses against the equal rise of the owned shares. I imagine most people who short don't think they're going to hold the position very long? In theory, it seems that he could hold the shorts indefinitely (waiting for what would now have to be a significant downward correction), hedged against the owned shares. But how long to wait for that? Because I know so little about short selling, I'm worried there are more potential losses I don't know about to continuing to hold the shorts until this happens.[/quote]
