I currently use Ameritrade and I like to do shorts but I find that Ameritrade never seems to have the shares available to short.

Can someone suggest a brokerage that may have more shares available to short then Ameritrade. I usually stay in the 5-12 dollar range.

Thanks

At Scottrade, I never have a problem with shorts.

I use Scottrade now and that's all I do is short stocks between $5-$20 on the Nasdaq. However I have been debating on moving to IB because I have had a few stocks that were unshortable. And when I looked them up on IB's shortable stocks they were there. So if I were you I would just go to IB.

Don't trade stocks. Trade emini. No short rules on emini's. More volume. Less capital needed. Less risky. No Pattern daytrading rules. Better tax advantages.
