then you need a new broker because I shorted ECNC with two different clearing houses right here in the good ole USA. Maybe if you had more than $500 you could get more than an Eturd account. Now go cut some grass and wash some cars like a good 12 year old

There are lots of US brokers who will short BB's. Just because you don't know which ones doesn't mean it isn't so. Regards, Barb

<<I tried to short ECNC way back in the day too, but my brokers dont allow it in America>> It is true that many (but not all) US brokers will not let you short BB stocks. But what if you had been long ECNC. Longs had a chance to act on the information also, to their benefit, and I am sure you would agree that the ECNC debacle did not result from "bashers" trying to harm a "good" stock, as some tried to claim at the time. Actually, a great number of Tony's calls have been shortable in the US, but some brokers are better than others at finding shares. regards, Harpo
