>Well, when I couldn't get AMZN shares it always went higher! Me too. But looking back on it I'm glad. Otherwise I'd have gone Busto. I tried to get more XLA short shares yesterday directly from the specialist Spear Leeds & Kellogg. Non available. This new split coming out should open them up, they're adding another 12 mil shares, but I don't know how many of those will be allocated to the float. This is one of the most interesting stocks I've ever followed. SPK will move the stock up or down 5-10 on just a 100 share trade. XLA only has one small institutional investor. That wasn't the case with Amzn. When we were trying to get Amzn short shares the elephants had already filled up their stomachs with long shares.
