I got my short shares through Prudential Securities, my "full service" broker that I use exclusively for short selling. They can almost always dig up shares, but the commission is too high to daytrade with them. I trade everything else through Schwab, although I am starting to get disgusted with Schwab- it took 3 hours to get a confirmation on my put order this morning, and it was filled at 13 5/8, which is higher than I've seen the damn thing trade all day. Schwab switched over to a new system this weekend, and apparently it is still full of bugs. This morning it was completely down, and now its back on crutches with limited functionality.
