re:shorting securities In Canada (hope I haven't lost you already!), the margin requirements of a stock between .25 and 1.49 is 200% of market value. I have the feeling it is not the same in the US. Mike.

Not they are right they cannot loan out unmarginable HOWEVER loan out or not MMs will short what ever because their job is to keep the market liquid. hey I could be wrong GB MIDL New Investor Information Post Message 4608046 Redundant questions: Coomon: for the price MIDL is trading at you get one security of ownweship Midland, Inc.

You buy the P for $26.50 you are buying 35 shares of common for an AMSC of $0.77 however you add in the dividend of 50% you will get a half a share of P which equates to 17.5 shares of common. Example: 100 shares of P @ $26.50 = $2,650.00 = .50 AMSC For a long term hold and capitalize on the stock to the max degree this is the buy.
