  1. Hi all.
    Say to from the experience, what broker as to your has larger shortable list? It is importantly for me, because work with system which is calculated for shorts.
     
  2. Interactive Brokers.
     
  3. Size isn't everything
     
  4. How I understood variant one - interactive brokers? I thought several variants to consider, and is gained choice small.

    Thanks all.

    penson's short list is nowhere near the best in the industry.

    i'm not bashing you, giles, just wanted to point it out for others.

    you'll do much better getting shares at places which don't clear through penson than those which do. unfortunately, many folks do use penson...
     
  6. Trust me I dont feel bashed. I am an IB customer :). The guy wanted other options so :)
     
  7. Thanks all : -)
