Is it possible for Longs to create a Short squeeze? From Yahoo board: I called Schwab and they don't have enough shares available to allow customers to short Pixar. The person I talked to at Schwab said its not uncommon for "hot stocks" to be uvavailable for shorting. Also, she said that she thinks that the WSJ shows short positions for stocks, but she thinks its only shown once a week. Does anyone get the WSJ, and if so can anyone let us know what the short position is on Pixar? (Here's a site that gives monthly short positions: viwes.com ) A CALL TO ALL LONGS: LETS SQUEEZE THIS BABY!!!! Call your broker and request the certificates for some of your shares (I requested certificates for 300 of my 600 shares this morning). If a lot of us do this we will reduce the supply of shortable stock and MAGNIFY THE UPCOMING SQUEEZE!!!!!! Also, once again, I'm curious if anyone has seen a Pixar stock certificate and what it looks like. I'll report back when I get mine.
