I agree Andrew-- my broker says I can short ANY stock that he can find shares for-- if I am using my cash account. Also, you can short ANY stock using the 3 day settlement rules... ANYONE ARGUE WITH THIS PUT UP THE LAW!!!

I did and you are right; commissions suck but they are one of very few that allow it on some BB's. The tone of your post was kind of strong (i.e patently false) like I was purposely misleading people, but you are right that Fideltiy MIGHT be able to short certain BB stocks. Inceintally commissions above 2000 shares is $98.95 + .02 a share To: +Dave Gore (3468 ) From: +Andrew H Friday, Jun 26 1998 8:26PM ET Reply # of 3475 >>MY COMMENT: "(NOTE: in the US, shorting is not allowed in non-marginable stocks under $5.00)""""<< This is patently false information. Call Fidelity brokerage at 1 800 544 8666 and ask them about it
