In this case you are living in your own world. There are three ways to short a stock and you only use one . When one states they are short a stock that has 3 possibilities. When I state Eric was short IOC that has 3 ways he can do that. You chose to focus on one. You chose that definition of the 3 that are available. Everyone else would realize that there are 3 ways to short a stock and use a broader definition. If you sell a call you are short the underlying collateral not long shares. Thats called being short in the brokerage business. A business you have never worked in ever.So for you to define terms for a business you have never worked in seems a bit unusual. So when someone says they are short the next question is how are you short?? Because their are three ways to execute that idea. One can't focus on just one definition. And that's what you are doing. Ask how are you short??I never defined the term .
Eric commented to my post where I stated I bought long calls when IOC was under $10 and he stated he was short those calls. I bought 500 calls out 6 months and IOC recovered to $25. You can find the post. You were in IOC in those days and on the yahoo board.Go get em
