  Subject: shorthing not possible 
  ......
  
  Hello friends:
   
  I wanted to short REFR (based on 
  research)
  but Datek doesnot has long positions on it so i 
  cannot
  short it : does anyone of you had simular 
  expiriences
  with (other) stocks and (other) brokers 
  ?
  Is the only solution taking another broker 
  ?
   
  Thanks
