>>Dwight, i have tried to short KTEL several times last week, and there was never any stock available.<< You are right. With less than a million shares available and around 300k float, look at the volume. I think KeyWest alone shorted that many shares. Until we hear the founder selling out his 2 million or so shares shorting KTel has to be the dumbest thing right next to shorting god himself (BillG). Why not short some low risk low P/E stock like APM? At least you have a pretty good chance of making money.
