Dale, I've noticed many messages on SI which mention the difficulties in borrowing shares in NASD and OTC companies. I presumed that this was because investors were dealing with discounters. In Canada, it is also tricky to short through discounters, but I have had no problems with full service brokers. I don't want to waste anyones time on this thread. If covering overvalued OTC stocks is not of interest due to this problem, then I will limit my comments here to more "mainstream" shorting ideas, and post OTC info on more appropriate threads. Please let me know what you think either here or by PM. Regarding other shorts, one of my favorites is PRBZ, which did not participate in the market strength of the last couple of weeks. It's looking weak and ready for a correction. Also, just played the GERN Nov. puts. That company is many years away from any revenues. Surelock Homes
