Sorry if the topic's been covered . . . When I opened my DATEK account a year ago I was under the impression that one could short almost everything through DATEK. Now, it seems almost nothing is shortable except the most heavily traded stocks. Where should one go to short? Also, with DATEK, if a stock is not marginable can it still be shorted? (It seems that all the non marginable stocks are also not shortable.) Thanks, John.
