Mike, One thing I forgot to mention about paired trading: they have to be fairly large companies. Though your concept may be good, and it sure sounds good, Expedite looks like a tough stock to borrow for long periods of time and even if you get it, you are likely to get ripped off on the interest rebate. I haven't asked a broker about availability. I'm just talking about general concepts. That is why you hear me mention very large cos. most of the time in my paired trades, or, at least the short side of the pair. MB
