Carl, <<BTW, took my profits on SHVA and BBTK. One thing nice about these broken stocks, a low price lets you short a lot of shares and a point or so drop is worth taking>> That's certainly true, but a point rise can mean big losses. As for myself, I like to trade as a percentage to the overall portfolio in round lots. That way, I'm somewhat protected from having my entire portfolio wipe out from a buyout or some unforseen event. I always keep in mind my reasons for shorting is to hedge my long portfiolio and to better use my margin capital. Good luck scalping. As for HMSC, No change with the exception of a product rollout in December. Chester
