All: Would someone who considers themselves a good stock shorter please answer Okanewokasegu's question here. I try to stay away from shorting anything for the most part.

However, from what I understand some brokers do have a $5 limit on certains shortable securities. It is a very common practice to be long an issue for the news and then short just after the news. If I was a big shorter, this is how I would be playing the short game.
