CPHD = -0.06
NTCT = $0.11
PCTI = $0.11
PLXS = $0.39
VISN = $0.09

A lot of it depends on the float of the stock, but yeah, in general, if your broker can't find shares to borrow, that's because there aren't any - they are already borrowed and being shorted.

I shorted SOL and then wanted to short some more, but the second time there were no more shares available (it wasn't on the "Easy-to-Borrow" list anymore).

Yes, I was and around 10:30, I was pretty excited about it, thinking it could be a nice winner. It still may be, but I didn't like the way it acted at all today - market was up and to have it reverse like that is not good in my opinion. That's not how a breakout should occur.

If you are still in it, I would definitely get out if it closes below $37.76 area.

Good luck.

I know you were long PLCE for a short time, any thoughts on that with the stock showing some weakness today. Flag still looks tight, volume wasn't bad.

Thanks,
Tom
