Nice 16% rebound today on DRCT after the plunge below $10 yesterday. No interest for me on the short side. Seemed like a violent pullback was coming after such a huge run...and we got that yesterday...who knows when the next one will be. Plus the borrow rate is ridiculous.

Yes the borrow rate on UUU was also high. But I thought that was a much better short over $4. Since the NT-10Q filing told us the quarterly results would be awful. Not everyone reads through a late filing. The stinky UUU quarter had to be released within 5 days. So seemed like a good short-term bet for the stock to fall when the terrible Q2 comp hit. Strangely it didn't drop at all the day they reported the Q2 loss on a 36% revenue decline (and actually was green!). But crashed to the $2's soon after. Wish I would have shorted more in hindsight. Oh well.
