M Carter, I covered my CFON short position today and switched to PNDA. Probably a good indicator that cfon will continue down....... Also covered my ESMC short today. Could not get in SOF.

<<Only difference is that retail shorting is out of the picture only retail buying and instituitional buying and selling are in.>> I was browsing through the description of terms on the Discover site and came across this: "To be considered marginable, a stock must be deemed as such by the US Federal Reserve, and it must trade above $4." If a $4+ stock is marginable doesn't that mean it is shortable? I will have to check with Discover but I thought that $5 was the limit across the board.
