One of you Mensa people please give me a very quick refresher on why some brokerages do not have SEVL (substitute any name) to short... especially since most of this stock is in street name... I use Eschwab and it messages me "not shortable"... Can you point me to a post or a site that explains the why/how a brokerage can not or "will not" let a stock be shorted. Is it cut and dried or is it a game that some play. I am new to this site but a big hurrah! to Anthony and gang... David II
