Christian, thanks. You are right. It was a limit short order for YHOO. I did it many times before, but the order was never cancelled. Usually I am waiting for the stock to move up, but today I was chasing the stock, when it moved down. I put the limit order at the market price, but YHOO turned the corner. I got this message and did not know, if I am short or not. Really ugly. Obviously I got this message because of the downtick. One more reason not to chase a stock. Greetings
