>>Unfortunately, the stock cannot yet be shorted.<< Cap, we must be careful with our shorts. Yesterday I shorted Cmgi @93, I took my max pain, and was kicked out @ 98. That's a $5k loss in only a few hours.:( Fortunately for me, I have short term gains to write that loss against. Are you still carrying your short losses forward? The shorts have been killed this last decade. As my buddy said "Any idiot could have made a fortune this last decade, just buying stocks". I replied "Any idiot could have made a fortune just buying Internets only this last 2 years, until only a couple of months ago". I think this last couple of months has got a lot of speculators goosy. It has me too.;-))
