That is what I was told from a TD rep as well. Since he considers SLI a penny stock (under $2.00) I cannot even use my margin to buy other stock. Hey said others do not have access to my stock to use for shorting, nor do they have access to my stock to lend to people to short. He said TD Waterhouse owns stock in companies and they lend out stock to people who want to short. Margin accounts have no bearing on shorting of stocks as far as hey was concerned.

P.S. - Are we drilling yet, trenching yet, do we have a permit yet, is anything actually going on in Peru? Has anyone talked with Murry in the last 3 days. We are now in June is anything really being done and if nothing is what is the hold-up now?
