But I think its foolish. Why? Because there may come a time (like when PTSC was trading at 2) when you want to sell that stock. If you are not holding the shares in your account, it may take days or weeks to get those certifictes to your broker, have them processed, and then palced in your account so that you can sell them. IMHO its a foolish risk that exposes one to potential loss.

But you are welcome to take it.

Besides I thought we settled that short sale BS once the OTCBB started publishing short positions. When I checked yesterday PTSC had 2 million shares shorted. Hardly a substantial position in a stock with 400 million outstanding.
