For starters marri, I'd be happy to lend you some of my stock if you could prove you had sufficient ability to cover any losses.

Why do I think it's not available to short? 'Coz it's a spec stock which doesn't meet the shorting criteria. Is that a crime?

As for trades valued at less than $10,000 over the last few days making a stock desirable, that was not & is not my criteria for desirability. That only proves that the stock is tight at current levels, which after the huge run it had shows that the buying was quality buying. Also, anyone with any knowledge of small resource stocks knows that often a stock is at its strongest when it looks weak & vice versa. You have to know how to read a screen with thinly traded, tight stocks.

And as for only the first line of buying being what counts, in which T.A. manual did you read that, Technical Analysis for Dummies? Then you go onto quote TLS & RIO. That's really comparing apples with apples - multi billion dollar multinationals against a $20m speccie.

Possibly the only relevant & logical comparison is that, at least RIO was many, many years ago also a $20m speccie.
