1/ KTEL was on the list of not shortable. Some traders went out and shorted. It was understandable that they were asked to cover. That's not a problem with MB Trading. I did read the thread over there and with minimal intelligence, I could see who were at fault and who was being professional .... More slanders. 2/ Micheal Turner at CyberCorp said it cost $300 for data fee. Now you as a user saying that it's free. Should I suspect something here ?

Oh brother! I knew there was a reason I was reading through this thread! I just found it. If you haven't heard about any problems with M.B. Trading then you must not be looking in the right places. I could point you to many discussions of their problems, especially yesterday with most of the traders who had short positions and who were called and told to close them out now because M.B. could not borrow the stock and, therefore, the traders were being punished. Cost some of them big money yesterday. Check it out for yourself. Shorting with a company like M.B. can be very dangerous to your portfolio (cash balance). Mr. Dwyer, there are so many points in this statement that I take exception to, it is hard to know where to begin. You gave me such a sound thrashing a few weeks ago, I tried my best to just let things drop. Now I am left with no alternative, I am forced to post here due to your outrageous statements. Before I give it my best shot, I have 30 + posts I have to endure to get to the top of this thread. See you soon.... :P funk
