Getting shares to short - We know that in some cases, it is hard to find shares to short. eg. ZITL, XCIT etc. The following strategy was mentioned by Chi-X. The idea is to put in a limit order way over the current trading range. For eg. we kind of knew that VVUS had a maximum top of around $85, so we put in a limit order to short VVUS at say $120, a price, we feel, it is never going to reach. Once, we feel that the time is ripe to short the stock, we simply convert the limit order to a market order. I would appreciate hearing differeing views on this strategy. Senthil
