Some tight ranges in the internuts this morning. VRSN has only a 3 1/4 point range and the wild AMTD which had a 18 point range yesterday is tight at 7 1/16. Playing these stocks is like playing the S&P 500 futures.

Bodqua, that's amazing (to me) I have never seen a broker allow OTC-BB to be margined, or shorted (not that I go around shaking the tress every day either)... I even discussed this with a NASD Short Sale Analyst in December who stated unequivicably, (at least this is how I went away from the discussion) that OTC-BB are not marginable, period. That the only way to short an OTC-BB stock was to obtain a separate written hypotiction agreement from a holder of the OTC-BB shares. Perhaps Yamner gets these agreements for small retail short positions?? Or I just don't know what... I've discussed the ability to short with many brokerage margin depts and compliance depts over the years and they are all in lock-step telling me "no, can do it" How's yamner's fee structure?
