Probably good for a pop right now, Praetor... I still strongly dislike it long term. Kinda irrelevant for me, since I cancelled my CO and you cannot un-cancel, but for those willing to flip it might be good. I'm not willing to flip anyway since I only have one active account at Wit right now. I'm gonna behave at Wit and E*Trade in hopes of picking up some RedHat and others of that caliber.

Shorting stock at another brokerage. If you have a huge runup on a new issue and want to lock in profits w/out "flipping" out an account, is it feasible to short the issue at another firm: Issues: 1. Heard SEC rules don't allow shorting for 30 days? 2. Not enough supply w/brokers for a while - shorted stock is a different caliber of stock and requires a special agreement between the person lending the stock and the broker who borrows it? Any ideas on this
