The float is too thin to short. That is why all new web 2.0 IPO have thin floats. It's easier for larger stake holders to push the price around, and sucker in ma & pa, and momentum traders. But if you look @ ICI data, common folk are getting out of equities. If you own risk in this market, going into 2012, you are a fool. There's a high probability of a financial collapse in Q1 2012.
