Roger, I have a friend who had been cursing Fidelity for not being able to get shares of KTEL to short. That was at $30 or so. I wonder if he knows how lucky he was by not getting it. I don't dare short those stocks with very thin floats. Someone always makes you pay for the 'easy money'. FWIW - I covered YHOO and AMZN at the end of January. That saved me a real beating in those stocks (about $15 point losses in both - not too bad especially in YHOO's case, whew!). I've been nibbling at YHOO and AMZN again though. I'm too chicken to place a big bet them though. Don
