Daniel, I imagine the other Daniel was speaking of shorting the IPO palm shares once one felt they had peaked.

Re:What do you sell short? (My question is not how does one short...it is how do you short a yet to be distributed share?) The answer is obvious (to me), you can't. You must short Coms or some of the few IPO PALM shares...which? If Palm catches on anything like the linux mania, I'm not so sure you want to be short it...

You usually cannot short soon after an IPO. SEC rules.
