Availability of Short Shares - ts all a matter of who they clear through. They probably clear through Southwest or someone like that. Probably get a decent number of "active" trading shops. We clear through Pershing, Div. of Donalds Lukin which is one of the largest clearing firms around. We usually never have problems getting stocks because DLJ has mutual funds and other large accounts, institutions that have size in some of these stocks. On a side note, it is difficult for me to speak on another's business as i cannot even imagine all the components of their business. Regards, steve@yamner.com

I have traded one stock with Datek (AMES) where they declare themselves as market maker on the transaction reports they send to me. I'm not sure what the implications are. There has never been any declared mark-up on the report, which I believe they would have to include if they were in fact making a market on the stock. I have no expertise in this area. Just here reading a lot trying to learn some things, but thought you would all like to know.
