I have done several with ToS under $3…I haven’t been told I can’t short it when it was under $3 but I also don’t remember ever asking them to put the order in under $3…At the minimum I always ask to put the order in at $5 above the current price.

theres no trick, u just have to get p each monring at 7am and ask for their hard to borrows, most of the time u’ll come up empty, but thats good because it means shorts are aleady in and they’ll possibly get squeezed, thus puking up their shares after spiking stocks, offering ideal entries…no great squeezes as of late, hopefully the drought will end soon

First, I would like to say that I am impressed (no… shocked), that you answered my question so quickly. And, I hate to be a nag but, I already have an account with thinkorswim (based on your recommendation) and I haven’t found anything below $3 that they have available to short (including JSDA). Are you saying that there is some trick in the DVD on how to get tos to make short shares available to me? Otherwise, the shortstocking knowledge is great but, if i can’t find the shares to short it doesn’t do me much good. Thanks.

Ed, thinkorswim and interactive brokers are the 2 brokers i use, i suggest watching my shortstocking dvd to learn how to short sell before risking any $ in the markets:

I don’t understand how you guys are shorting stocks under $3.00. I haven’t found a broker who will do it. I signed up for thinkorswim because Tim recommended it but, i haven’t found that they will allow me to short anything under $3.00. How are you doing it????

jsda up 33%…should provide another good shorting opportunity if $1.00 isnt taken out…
