It's absolutely amazing how much more successfull my trades have been since i practically gave up on options. Sure, I'd occasionally get a home run, but more often than not they just went to poot heaven. yeah, it's been boom and bust with poots and calls for me also. I'm short the common. Believe me, your broker will not have trouble finding some shares for you to short [like you were saying with BRCM I believe]. You'll never get that call in the morning that they had to cover your shares because there weren't any available for loan. Now that we're this low on Crisco, I bet there's a shitload of shares long in margin accounts and very few shorts, just a guess.
