It is a classic SI myth that one cannot short bulletin board and other non-marginable stocks. A broker just does not make any vig on the interest, but they make money on the commission. It is all perfectly legal, if your broker won't do it get a real one instead off being a cheap on line pound foolish, penny wise miser. You wanna know where? Pick up the phone and call a full service broker.
