I covered all my postions today with the exception of ENMD and VIFL.
I am short on them, I know DLJ has know shares of VIFL, but do not know about ENMD. When you cover a short you will select for account "short" and use "buy to cover".

You need to learn what you are doing before trying to do it. Just like going long, if you jump in blind you are looking to get your @$$ handed to you. Try for starters a book called "The Art of Short Selling" by Kathryn Staley.... You can buy it from Amazon, are you familiar with them???

And to learn how to use DLJ try their help screen.. Do something for yourself, for God's sake

<<<When I short sell, I have to buy it back at the lower price I know, but then I sell it at that lower price? What are you shorting? >>> SOMETIMES you have to buy it back at a HIGHER price.......when that happens you are an educated shorter. :)
