TIVO has puts for those who want a low octane, limited downside way to play TIVO. With 3m shares short and shares hard to borrow, you can be sure the daytraders are looking to jam TIVO further tomorrow.

Let's be careful out there.......

Shawn, you can short TIVO at your broker, any broker. When a stock has options, you can short well in the money calls and it's equivalent to shorting the underlying common. Same thing with MPPP last year, it spiked from 3 to 10 in a couple of days, I couldn't borrow so I sold calls. The net effect is the same.

Regards,

Tom
