The reason why this is true is that in order for a stock to be "shortable" it must also be fully "marginable" (and actually in a margin account) so it can be legally lent out to others for shorting. Stocks below five bucks are not fully marginable. The same holds true for unlisted (BB) stocks.

Hope this helps...
