Please excuse my ignorance, but just how does one go about shorting a stock like AHWY anyway. Most brokers, including both of mine (Datek and DLJ) laugh in my face at the mere mention of wanting to short a newly public, under capitalized, internet stock. And I suspect the same story is true of most other brokers, especially discount brokers. Of course this isn't just specific to AHWY. Recently, the trend of most brokers is to severely limit internet and fast moving stocks, (particularly newly IPO'ed), from being marginable, let alone available for short sell. Regards, Kevin
