Thanks Ben....... 
 
I will be ready to play the down side August 1st as I do expect weakness to get started in that sector at that time.

Hello Ron
this is how i short
safe
with max loss
and max profit
 
short  aug 17.5 calls
long aug 20 calls
its a credit spread
your credit is your profit should it expire under 17.5
your loss
if it close over 20 is 2.5 minus credit collected

Well now everything seems normal again.  And I am able to short GS and C.  However not that I would want to.  Anyway the problem earlier must have just been an early morning glitch as my shorting attempts were very near the open.

Just to experiment this morning, I tried shorting Citi Bank and Goldman Sacks.  I got pop-ups saying they were not available for short sale at this time.  So maybe media rumors about shorting and the banks is correct.
