I for one knows that there are no shorts at NITE and there has been none during the past 18 months.. Thats as far as my relationship with them goes.... BTW there is a rumored $17.00 bid for 9 shares on the books at present and 21 shares for sale at $73.00 so if you bid $73.00 for 100 shares you might just get only 21 shares and your bid and purchase will never appear because it will be for less than 100 shares on the bid after you buy the 21 shares @ $73.00.... hank
