Tom; OFF TOPIC, That was part of it almost the tip of the ice berg, not only did a lot of newbies to the market get clipped in the KTEL squeeze from what looked to me to be a very shoddy deal, And some insidious encouragement I back tracked that thread a lot before I said anything. But I said what I thought needed to be said, and as it went on they got off my back. It is true if you use certain Brokers they will let you short even when there are no shares to borrow, we got into that a lot but I didn't name the Brokers, or how I came to know it. It seems they make a deal with someone behind the scenes and then can balance the books just before report date. The crooks are well versed in how to cover their rears. --------------------------- Of course, we know the stock market is clean and that there are no shenanigans <G> So I guess if I suggest that that's not the case I need to be burned at the stake. Heck I been cooked so many times that I need a fire truck to follow me around. <G> Jim
