Brokerage Firm Recommendation Needed for Shorting Stocks

hrrr, it was fun shorting the heck out of SOHU & SINA today.

Thx for the recommendation, guys

 

NTES, SINA, and SOHU were not borrowable today.

 

Ebo,

I don't understand what you are trying to say. I see in today's other posting "Tradestation -- slow" thread, http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=355229#post355229, that you are using TradeStation.

Are you saying SINA and SOHU are not borrowable today ?

In my account, SINA and SOHU are shortable today. Attached is a printout of Tradestation's SINA and SOHU. There is no "HB" designation after them, so they are shortable. In contrast to CYD which does have "HB" designation to show that is hard to borrow today.

CYD

 

Excellent thread.

Stay away from Scottrade, that's for sure. I had horrible luck trying to short with them.
