I think you will find that using a discount broker will limit your shorting abilities. I assume it is the same in the states but the broker must find a lender of the stock in order to short it You are correct. The broker has to find the shares first, then they can 'loan' them out for a short sale. Also, as a general rule, anything $5.00 and under can't be shorted. Although, I have had an order fill at 4 5/8..... Jim
