Hank, that was actually the reason for my question...I found it a bit strange that someone thought they knew enough about the company to recommend to others to sell short and didn't even know it was not yet "shortable".... I wouldn't mind getting a cheaper opportunity to buy the stock and figure that just as the shorts get into the stock there might be a buying opportunity.... Mike

<<Can't wait for it to become shortable, for when it does I'm betting that it will take off like most other internet stocks have done when they became shortable! >> McNabb Bros., could you please explain to me what you mean by the above statement? I am unclear. I have always thought that stocks go down when they are shorted since it means people are selling the stock. I though shorting puts downward pressure on the price. Please help me out. Thanks in advance. Sam
