Now I have a short position in my account....I have to call tommorrow though, I'm confused....it shows short at 3 1/16...I'm very confused. I have Aug 5 puts.

That's normal. $5 - $3 1/16 (last market close) of the short proceeds are spendable cash, and the rest is held in a short account. It's the same as if you had shorted at $5, and then the price of the stock fell to $3 1/16. The halt is crummy for us shorts since the current market value is obviously less than $3.

BTW, IRIDQ is now delinquent in its SEC filings. I wonder if it will become IRIDQE? Or perhaps IRIDEQ?
