My note was just a statement of which large OS stocks are not available to short via Datek. My note on caution was simply that there must be some fairly large short positions if you can't short a stock like SLB. Whether the shorts are right or not for the short term, that's not something I care to comment on.

I thought that this was some data that others on the thread would like to know.

OT:
As to the Nasdaq getting creamed, it has presented some nice opportunities and I admit to buying a few semi stocks this morning. I think the 1st quarter earnings in this sector will look very solid and I believe that a lot of the downside has been removed in select stocks. I do know that I'm betting against the current tide and that this might be a mistake but it's a risk I'm willing to take.
