Thanks TJ, I found your thread a month or so ago.. have it bookmarked, posted occasionaly.. and find it quite helpful because of the quality of the messages.. I use these threads, as a previous poster said to get ideas for trades.. I compare the frequency of posts on a certain stock with other threads... If it is too frequent and the issue has ran too hard for a couple of days.. I lay off because of it being too extended.. but watch it for pullbacks and reactions.. That is what I am doing with IMON... One of the first things I look at for hot money stocks is Revenue Growth rather than actual EPS. Also, sales/share.. Coug

Rules for Shorting Stocks??? Would appreciate it if you could provide information on the price stocks must be valued at to short. Does the stock have to be margined somewhere and do most firms have a price floor as to what minimum price a stock must be to short. The reason I ask is that I read on many of the BB's about people buying long then selling short and vice versa as if they do it all the time and have no problem doing so without the price of the stock being an issue. Thanks for your input.
