As a general rule, it's unwise to short any stock selling below $10. It's also unwise to toy with companies like Lexar, which have major agreements with large flash card manufacturers. What if a large company decided to swallow up Lexar? Then where would your short position be? Companies with management problems and questionable management quality are candidates for short selling, but other factors are also important, not the least of which is slow product demand. You can't really say that about flash card companies, at least at present. So I don't see why a short sale is anything more than an unwarranted risk. Art
