Dammit! I tried to short sell BIKR at 7 5/8 this morning, first time I have ever short sold. I find out at that time that Webstreet didn't have my account set up right, and I couldn't short it! While on hold with them, I watch it drop to 5, I don't freakin believe this. Craig.

People said Yahoo was overpriced at $100. The reason it went further was simply that there was more buying than selling (or no later sellers to let the earlier shorters out at their original selling price). You cant tell the market what to do, it will tell you and if you listen and follow it you will make a lot of money - if you fight it (it "must" come back down, etc etc) you will lose quickly.
