I wonder if Bubba's gonna treat himself to a nice steak dinner with his credit balance. Maybe even a little dessert, too!

Alright, let's see... If Bubba shorted 100 shares at $60 and they rose to $65, that's gotta be at least $3,500. Gotta love those gains!

Hmm, $2,500 seems a bit low. I think Bubba's got a little more in the bank than that.

I'm not sure, but based on the scenario, it seems like the credit balance should indeed be $3,500.

I agree with Loise, because Bubba sold short 100 XYZ at $60 and made a 50% deposit, so the credit balance should be $3,500.
