All: Koo Koo Roo jumped today on news that Lee Iacocca is taking over as CEO. It only made it to 3 7/16 close today, but this might just propel it over 5? Anyone interested in shorting Lee? KKRO was a financial disaster last time I looked. Of course this could be an EGGS type situation. Memories of SOC when "Chainsaw Al" took over make me cautious. It also may never get back over 5 either.

I'm actually long for now, but think it might be a good one if it makes it over 5. I doubt I'll have tonight's position for very long though.

To Anyone:

Can one (legally) take on a short position by exercising a put option
and having your broker "borrow" the shares for the delivery?

No uptick (inside bid) rule"? Initial margin requirements?

TIA,
Joe

>>Craig, are you talking about shorting ASND here?

Long: #reply-3890034

Ascend's chart looks quite bullish. I'm long as well.
