In reality one can short whatever is available at the loan post. Some houses dislike shorting while others make a living on it. Of course it is a matter of how much cash you have to back it up when you are margined, but if sufficient then shorting what is available should be an option. The only problem that you run into are some houses have stupid rules and decide arbitrarily when a company can't be shorted anymore. The other problem is that brokers are sometimes too damn lazy to find the stock for you if they do not have it sitting in their house. I do not know why they care so much because you are going to pay the borrowing fee if it is higher regardless. Ari
