Hi everyone,
I know this is an old thread but I found it while googling a question I had about this very subject. Let me give you an example of why I'd want to go long and short on the same stock.
The question is, is this legal, and perhaps more importantly, possible?

In India for eg. Short-selling cannot be done for such extended periods.
Regulations earlier were very tight, more recently, you may get upto 2 days.
If the broker has to close the position or position goes to auction, a short penalty will be incurred.
