Sorry, I havent been around. Its been busy. And since questions come onto the site so sporadically, its tough to keep track. I'd love to get some good dialogues going again if anyone has questions or thoughts worth everyones' time... Ken is correct. There is a difference between a stock being shortable and marginable. You can short sub-$5 stocks but you will be required to provide margin as though it were a $5 stock. That, for many, can eat up buying power. On the flip side, you can have a $100 stock that is not marginable and thus you'd have to maintain a full $100 against the short position. None of the above means its not shortable. steve@Yamner.com
