No problem shorting BII through Greenline as long as you don't use margin to do it (ie. have the cash to cover the position)... as they still don't provide any loan value to it. I have noticed a significant drop in the competence of their staff recently... seems they have a lot of new people starting... I often have to TELL THEM that the margin on MCF is 30% for example because many of the people there aren't aware that MCF has options on the Montreal exchange. I've also bumped into significant delays as the rep on the phone has to get supervisor approval "because they just started". This might only take 2 or 3 minutes but when you're playing MOMO that can mean the difference between making money or not!!! If you think you should be able to short BII and they say "no" I suspect that the person you're talking to is one of the new starts or something.
