Yeah well I searched high and low and hell I had a pile of buddies working bay street and a few on Howe street and noone knew nothing. I never did get an account set up but at one point i was in touch via phone with some guy at maybe UNION or UNION pacific who said he would do and I think he faxed me the papers and then I was to wire him $25,000 to set her up but then something didnt seem right about the guy and the account never got set up. I certainly have shorted and sadly only about 20% of my intended short sale orders ever got executed but sadly I was never one of them evil nakiid Canadian shorters and Im in Canada.

early 70's???? I was still in elementary school ....... When I first heard about them I tried like hell to get an account in canada but every broker told me know. Then once I had a referral from an existing client, the rest became history.
