James, it is a minor concern, but it is one of the risks of shorting.
I have built a substantial position in CFON with an average just less than 10. I'm not sure I'd be so sanguine with KTEL (no point in evaluating it if I can't borrow shares), but there are still daytrading opportunities that I am locked out of by not being able to short. I just have a hard time not shorting when I hear that people are paying $20 for a ten dollar bill.
