am interested to know of the experiences any RTs may have had using the

Alberto,
I had the same problem with Scottsdale Securities on August 31. I tried to
short Lone Star Industries. Average volume appears to be around 100,000
shares per day. Perhaps discount internet brokers won't search hard enough.
Can any RealTraders out there fill us in on why certain brokers may have
trouble finding shares to borrow?
