Bear,
What do you see in KIDE as a short? At first glance to me it doesn't seem like a good short. They are making good money, the float is extremely small, their PE isn't that ridiculous (compared to the rest of the market), and the volume is low. Do you feel it will sell off tomorrow after the split? Curious and always trying to learn.
