a sho stock does not require an uptick to short. you can obtain the list of such stocks on the nyse's website. you can always cancel an order, but if the specialist has already paired it, he/she most likely will fill all or part of the order. Its basically up to the spec to honor the cancel.

a market short order on a non sho stock will be in the open book on the plus tick stepping down until the order is filled. In a sho stock it will fill like any other sell market order. LIKE SHIT! Though on a stock that trades 15million you probably will be fine. Use the ecns and...

The fact that HCA was in talks was public knowledge albeit with the WSJ reporting the deal was dead. Some people took a shot that it wasn't, some others tape read that buying in the stock and the options and jumped in. You don't have to be in the know to catch a buyout. You just have to pay...
