Best way to find out who has the largest short list is to actually ask each brokerage firm who their clearing firm actaully is. For example, AB Watley uses Penson and so does Cyberbroker so their short lists should be quite similar. Also, since MB Trading and Harbor Securites use Southwest, their short list should be similar. I hope this helps. Good luck in your quest. Regards, SH

Don't have a clue Dave , I use southwest securuties . I have a hunch that Datek would be as able to fill your short as any there's so many traders on the internet.But Datek isn't a per se daytrading outfit . I have to have a list of stock that they keep in inventory. Don't use MB , or failing that have to call the home office and they can sometimes borrow what I want to short . Problem w/ alot of daytrading firms is that they discourage overnighting stock. Because of gaps and commissions . Let me know if you find a brokerage w/ alot of inventory . best of luck . richard
