<<I know what is going on..I did not just fall off the cabage truck,
shorts got killed in KTEL..some of them are still stuck there..
and don't know what to do..you can't get out unless someone
else shorts and lets you out she is locked up, the fish are in the
barrel on this one, and I confirmed that from someone who should
know, your just shooting from the hip..on this.
I'm telling you you can't trade her like it looks on paper.>>

Hey, Jimmy:
I don't usually do shorts, so I don't quite understand how you
can get stuck ...
If you are short, can't you just buy it back from the open market.
If you are long, can't you just sell it back to the open market.

How would anyone get stuck ???
Pardon my ignorance.

James, I don't know what you mean by being stuck in a short position. A short can always buy back his position. Now finding shares to start a short position is a different question and sometimes that is hard to do.
