You can short an IPO if your broker is holding shares. (believe me i know) I use schwab. Got into prodigy at 23 and change. Ran it up to 50 and change, and sold. when i hit the trade button i got a "browser error" so being a smart guy..... i smashed the mouse button again!!!! Hense, the first trade went through (sell at 50 and change) when i smashed the button again. (sell again at 50) SHORTING!!!!!!! easy as pie! i also know that schwab will not alow you to buy an IPO without CASH ON HAND! No margins, no IOU'S of course other brokers may differ. J>
