This stock has been touch and go as to if there are shares to short.. Kind of tough to find but you can occasionally if you keep looking. Try full service or regional firms. Online traders are the hardest. Datek seems to always have some which leads me to believe you have a higher risk of having your shares called away from you if they are unable to borrow them after a few days..

Havent heard of anyone getting their short shares called away from them yet. That is the true definition of a short squeeze. Until then, it is just hard to average in on the short side..

I got 200 to short today from Datek, with an almost instantaneous fill. Thats the good part. The bad part is it was at 45. :)
