Best Broker for short selling

Discussion in 'Retail Brokers' started by mr_byte31, Dec 8, 2018.

  1. I was looking for some penny stocks that were going parabolic for some time.

    Example for them was ANY, ABIL, ... blah blah

    I was sure those stocks will go down again because the move was non sense. I believe it was pump and dump.

    I was considering to see if IB has those stocks for shorting but seems not. The stocks are low float (less than 5 millions share)

    I was asking myself, which Broker would have such stocks for shorting!

    Note: I am not going to trade such stocks but it is just interesting question for me.

  7. Etrade , IB , Centerpoint , not too many brokers want to deal with penny stock short sellers.

    Do you hold over-night or just day trade?
    Do you need OTC or listed stocks locates?
