I also opened a short on ZONA today (at 21), through my local broker, who uses Quick & Reilly's clearing-house, U.S. Clearing Corp. I sure hope it won't go into the 30s. I need some investments to start going right for me.

>>>Datek is a short's dream , they are batting 1.000 on share availability in the 3-4 weeks that I've been using them<<< I have never heard of Datek not allowing a short on a marginable issue in the months and months I've been listening. I just recently heard one fellow report that he had had shares called back (PNDA), but I don't know if they actually did it (Sometimes if you "forget" to cover the broker finds the shares somewhere else). It has only been inertia that has kept me from funding my Datek account. Barb
