So I bought some stocks that I like and shorted some other stocks that I don't like via a single stock future exp December. There are (2) ways I can exit. 1. Just sell the contract right before expiration. 2. Single Stock Futures are just like options where you get to take delivery of the actual stock. #1 is a lot simpler, but there is often quite a bit of slippage on these things. So I was thinking it would be more efficient to do #2, but how exactly does that work? Do I have to post the money to buy the stock, or is there a way I can "buy the stock" but sell it in the open market right away. Thanks
