David,
You say "short sell". I say "selling long for later delivery" (right Demsey?) There was a bit of miscommunnication there. I solved that problem very easily. My certs are sealed, signed and in my broker's desk drawer. I can see that if your broker is a mouse click, this would be difficult. Therefore, I would suugest that you could make arrangements with another broker should you need him. This would take a small effort on your part but, considering the tremendous upside potential for you, it should be worth it
I don't mean to come down so hard on you individually but, IMO, you are are prime example of one of the only two reasons this thing can't work. Take the trouble. Make the effort. If you don't, and this doesn't work out, then you have no one to blame but yourself and others like you.
BTW, I grew up in an ethnic neighborhood and, generally, when that term was used, it was in "talking down" to the other party. That's the way I took it. If I misunderstood your intention, I apologise, but I don't think I did.
Call For Your Certs!!
