Ira, There must be a mechanism in place for determining if any shares are available to short. For example, today on CNBC they were discussing how large investors will move their positions from their margin accounts to their cash accounts so that the number of shares shortable decreases. This forces the shorts to cover since they can't settle. This to me implies a mechanism to track shorting. Maybe Steve can shed some light on this, as I am not sure... JZ
