RC, I think your broker may be misleading you or his rule is specific to his firm. You have to put up margin, but not cash, to sell short. I have clients who have nearly zero cash, but lots of marginable securities, and they can sell short. Though I can't use individual foreign bonds, I regularly use FCO as collateral. However, the cash generated by the short has to be held in dollars.
