        In short sale of an asset, how does one earn money market rate of return? (Since we are shorting same number of stock, and net value is zero)

          can you post the question? that might help some.

          There is no question here. I was only asking members to clear my query on understanding how one would generate money market return using the method short sale against the box

            @zee, i should have explained it elaborately. I am actaully refering to ways to decrease the risk of large equity holding in a portfolio where one is short sale against the box. I noticed that I have written the topic wrong too.

            I have managed to clear the query myself. One can earn money on the money earned by doing the short sale.
