Have mainly shorted bid stocks (but some small), INTC, DELL, EFII, ORFR, had no problem getting shares. Other rules about price seem about the same at Waterhouse. yes you still need to call to cover shorts, no email allowed, but should be able to on computer soon, we are told. -DL

Sending email to Waterhouse is useless, at best. This is my experience both through the Web and through Waterhouse dedicated software. But if Waterhouse will close boxed shorts out with a phone call, as Barb reports, this is much better than my experience at another discount broker, which delayed for 2 weeks and then told me a signed letter had to be sent before anything could be done. My only closed-out short at Waterhouse was forced on me within 2 weeks after the sale, though just as well in retrospect. They were accommodating on the phone about it and allowed time to get a halfway decent execution. -- Shoe
