Jim, I did find out why UBID is so heavily shorted. MALL will be distributing its shares of UBID no earlier than June, so some arbitration is going on here. But if enough of us buy, the shorts will be forced to cover, because there won't be enough shares to go around.

I was a little disappointed in the closing action. ONSL and EBAY both closed at or near their highs. Hopefully, UBID will catch up. If we get a short squeeze, it will.
