Andrew, Fidelity said that certain BB's they could do and others they probably couldn't... will check into this more thouroughly, especially to see if DGIV, NUKE, DCHT, and others that have been hammered lately qualify for shorting...I bet they do....would explain a lot. The only reason so many people did not know about BB shorting is that apparently most all firms do NOT allow it. I am with Discover and they say that Fidelity is one of the very few I wrote: >>but you are right that Fideltiy MIGHT be able to short certain BB stocks.<< you responded: There is no MIGHT about it. It is a fact.
