MBTrading has a list of about fifty stocks that are hard to borrow and therefore unavailable for shorting. If a stock is marginable and not on that list then a trader may go ahead and sell it short with the click of a button.

There are always some stocks that are just not going to be shortable. That is a fact of life.

Cramer at the TSC wrote a great piece about trying to short a stock and there was not a share to be had anywhere.

MBTrading thru Southwest Securities has one of the very best setups for daytraders who like to short.
