I have only one thing to say to this: fuxx you!!! You are the moron here, nobody else. Get your act together and take it like a man not like a little girl. Or do you ride your bike wearing high heels and pink panties? Enough said!!!
Your strategy depends on all names being available at all times for shorting at IB, else your position melts down? Just wondering.
no..but when all of sudden 1/2-1/3 of the "usual" list is not available and majority of stocks that are hitting my price levels right now are not shortable , it's make me... disappointed?
1/3 of usual IB short list is not available for short once again. how should i use this data? as a contrary indicator?
I just saw your post and checked the web site and lo and behold the short list is fine and there are 3,100,000 shares IWN available for shorting with 8700+ names in total available for shorting. Note the date/time from the screenshot in the attached (and second note, I thought better and deleted the first two sentences on what I was going to post)
what's going on with IB short list recently? it's getting smaller and smaller every single day. from 12K+ symbols to just a bit over 8K in just a couple weeks
Hey Bob, didn't you get the email from IB back in September about no margin on stocks with a market cap less than 250 million? Don't worry, IB didn't bother to send the stinking email to me either. I only know about it from this ET thread. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=227360 Makes the old IB short list a lot shorter.
