Yes, it would have been a nice play, but alas, as usual, Schwab wouldn't let me near it- "This security can not be sold short" message returned. It pisses me off when they do that- they should say instead "This security can not be sold short through Schwab" [because we are a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to crappy stocks- we only let you short the good companies, the ones nobody in their right mind would short unless it were simply on "overvaluation" [which, BTW, is never a sufficient condition for a good short]. Now, if you want to long it, that's another matter, go ahead- but you're not allowed to make money shorting it. :-(

Rave on, oh Anaxagoras, rave on....
