Off topic post re: shorting, my apologies to the thread. Sigh, you're making me nostalgic for the "good old days". The broker I use has recently implemented a U.S.-style "affirmative borrow" policy. No more "just short, and let's see what happens". A hedge fund manager I know tells me that this (affirmative borrow policy) has recently become policy for all (most?) Canadian brokers when dealing with U.S. stocks (I haven't confirmed this). - Daniel
