no, go long the stock, since the stock isn't available to short. when the stock is now in your account you can call the shares in so that they are then free to short...you have stripped them from anyone else that was already short the shares. when the time is right to short the stock, you can sell your long position on uptick/upbid and you have atleast 3 days before you can be forced to cover, if it falls fast or hard enough your shares may never be called, so the time problem is eliminated
