How do you plan on doing that? It's impossible >>>Reply: There is no equivalent "quiet period" rule for shorting an IPO. However, there is the following limitation. That is, in order to short a stock, there must be stock certificates available to borrow and then sell on the open market. In an IPO, the stock certificates are not delivered for a few days, so it is impossible to short an IPO within the first few days of the offering.<<< internetnews.com
