  3. I cannot find stock to borrow ----
    try to buy may 75 put --- I would have thought that OI and daily
    volume would pick up and match the daily stock activity - not so far

    i wonder how much of this activity is due to shorts not wanting to show their losing position for quarter end.

    definitely feels like the biggest short squeeze in a while.

    when it stops, it will drop IMHO.

  5. my source tells me that he had some orders to cover from
    Hedge Funds this morning - but these were new shorts
    from Friday last week !! Definetly window dressing here .
    I wouldn"t be surprised if TASR is on the cover magazine of
    Fortune Magazine

  9. If you want to get short, sell the call and buy the same-strike put. You're losing $.50 in edge, but synth. short. Pick a strike, any strike.

  10. Noticing puts aren't going down too much even after it's jumped 6+ -- is that normal?
