Hraka, what can we say? If it's not shortable at Schwab, (which I assume is your brokerage), then you'll be sitting on the sidelines. Not much you can do other than change brokerage. But that'll take a few days, and even then there's no guarantee that you'll be able to short many internet stocks either.

For the time being, looks like there's nothing you can do.

Jose.

Have them put you on the watch list for IMON--they will tell you that it is not marginable and you can't short it, but insist on being put on the watch list. This will force Schwab to see if they can borrow the shares from other brokers.

I've done this in the past and its worked, but alas, IMON may have cratered before you get the shares. :-(
