"fido had altif for me when the dog last climb over 10.
just cost a lot more money, got to do shorts over the phone
with person and pay full commission rate."

Hola Michael:

Sounds like you are using FIDO's glacially slow web site rather than FOX+, their proprietary software that runs when you are connected to the internet. You can short using this software.

You can read about FOX+ at: fidlib301.fid-inv.com:8001/message.html

You can download the software at this URL:

foxdownload.fidelity.com

There is also an SI thread that discusses FOX plus:

Subject 18242

warning: doesn't work with IE 5.0

Michael,

If you do enough trades with Fido, they don't charge you to open a short position, even if you make the trade over the phone.

Regards,

CMason
