>>OCOM is at $5 levels Neither DATEK nor ETrade will let me short it. At least ETrade now tells me right away rather than 15 minutes later that it is not shortable.

Rajiv, I covered all of my small cap shorts a few weeks back and I think they will go still higher unless we get a Republican landslide tomorrow, then all bets are off as we go into impeachment slime. But I was caught short by the big leap in YHOO today. Usually I am nimble enough to dodge the leaps, but got hit today. YHOO is now valued at almost $100 per average daily page view. No way it can generate that kind of revenue per page view, advertisements are not worth that much money.
