You're right, would have been a nice intraday short, couldn't get any shares.

Tried to short 500 shares around 9:30, when it was still above 6, Etrade didn't have any borrowable.

Tried again 2 more times as it fell from 6 to 5, still no shares.

It's under 5 as I type.

To all,
Is there a means by which one can obtain information, real time or not, on which stocks break above 5 and are therefore, generally available to be shorted.
