Anthony, Tell me how does one short a stock under 5 bucks? (Provided one is not a MM or has a brokerage account in Canada) Thanks, Robert...

ASTM a short play??? No disrespect Anthony, but the company could get its CE mark for its bone marrow and cord transplant kit any day. In fact the company expects to start selling as soon as January. The company already has the product ready to go on sale in Europe with patients waiting. Granted the media is frothing on cord blood transplants: cure for sickle cell, cure for blood disorders, improved procedure for bone marrow transplants, lessening the symptoms of diabetes, etc. Kaufmann Fund, Cobe, Pfizer, and State of Michigan are 49% shareholders. If you read the comments and notes from the recent ASH conference, you will see that the company is very kosher. They have very strong patents and will have a virtual monopoly on these procedures. I'd watch this very carefully, anyone that doesn't could lose their lunch money. I'd suggest that anyone thinking of shorting this stock do a little DD or you may be a lemming walking off a cliff. Its just my opinion, but it is always sound advice to "look before you leap". I welcome you to convince me otherwise, but please do it with something more than a mere opinion. I need some logic. Thanks The Alaskan
