When will BIDU be shortable (IB)

Most definately shortable at Cybertrade, they always have the shortside shares

 

Why aren't there options on BIDU?
(synthetic shorts, etc.)

 

You can borrow but it cost to get it. It's 30 days after the ipo date. After the quiet period they can talk about the co has nothing to do about shorting a stock.

 

Don't laugh too hard. Shorting stocks < 5 is not a problem. Old wives tale. Urban legend. BS

 

Any rule about not shorting under $5 or not shorting <30 days after IPO is created by your broker or clearing firm, not regulators. Some firms allow either or both.

 

one more example why someone should take your posts with a grain of salt.

 

maybe it only works for odd lots.
just kidding.
