Nemer <<<But, with all the brokers with whom I've dealt, and even with my 2 web accounts , you can't short it if they don't have it to loan and it takes time for permission to short sale and an uptick to happen.<<<< Good points. I have been playing with GTW lately, and short deep in the money calls to get myself short. Actually, I sell them and cover with long stock; then, when I want to "get short," I sell the stock. Looks like the dead cat bounce in tech played out today. Hope things are well in Texas! Mike
