Barbara, Not quite a headfake (so far--but then 40K shares traded only amount to $300K-$600K traded). The dangers are that there could be very good news of some sort??? or that a short squeeze is being manipulated?? Regardless, from what I can tell, this is the proverbial "screaming short". I'm in @ 13 1/4. (Thank you Datek EDIT: Robert, keep trying!) Monty

I just discovered this board and bookmarked it. In this choppy market it seems shorting is better than bottom fishing looking for the bounce. I have not tried shorting yet but have been trading full time for about 3 months. Do You need level II to be able to short or can You do it with RTQ'S and limit orders only. I would appreciate Your advice, thanks in advance and good luck trading. P.S. I already learned something from reading Your post.
