Assume that you had $10,000 in cash in your brokerage account on August 1st. Your broker has an initial margin requirement of 60%. You maximize your investment in Amazon (AMZN), purchasing shares at the closing price on 8/1/2018. The total amount of shares you can purchase without buying a fractional share is 5.

Assume that you instead decide to short as many shares as possible of Amazon (AMZN) at market close on August 1st. The broker requires a 60% margin on short sales and has a 40% maintenance margin.

Close price 8/1/18 = $1791.17

Close price 8/31/18= $2012.71
