Don, You may be right. I wouldn't, however, read too much into the Fidelity borrow situation, as I was entering my trades through their website, rather than phoning them into a rep. I've found in the past that I can get rejected on the site, but if I talk to a rep, they'll look outside the firm to see if they can get shares. I think the site only looks at their own inventory. Amazing to see this one back again! "The Linux is on the desk." Regards, CMason

Don, to me it does not matter whether one makes money on a stock by being long or short. I am long and my shares are free at this point. There are opportunities for the longs and shorts to both make money on ZITL. I have also read that a lot of people have not been able to short this stock because their brokers cannot get shares. This is a sure sign that there is a shortage of shares to be had. I have also heard that the Market Makers are short millions of shares. I believe my source on this to be credible. When they are forced to cover . . . well, you know what can happen to the price of ZITL. It could potentially take off like greased lightning. All the best, SV
