Laird,

Thanks so much for your suggestion. Unfortunately, as I just
found out this morning!, my SELL/SHRT AMZN, LIMIT 73 order
that was placed before market opened yesterday (3/5/98) was
REJECTED by broker due to AMZN "being unavailable for short."

And when I called them today, they also reported it unavailable.
Thought that would be interesting to you all.
Waterhouse Securities is the broker.

Ahh shucks, guess I gotta focus on AOL, YHOO, XCIT, CGMI, and SPLN.

Cheers,

David

P.S. It's that dang 5-hour time difference with New York.
When I place a trade at night, it shows as PENDING, not OPEN.
And I'd have to get up at 4 AM to see if they accepted it.
