Tim I've tried shorting with etrade and they say it's hard to borrow anyone else or you having this problem? This happens every trade I've tried to short
$180 Profit
EARSShort Stock
Entry comments: Shorted via Interactive Brokers as it took out day lows just now, goal is to make 30-50 cents/share, probable 1st down day
Exit comments: Got down to the 6.70s but I didn't expect such a drop so quickly and more importantly, I'm RIGHT at InterActive Brokers minimum so my first few trades I'll play extra cautiously just to give me some breathing room for when I inevitably lose on some trades, I'm FAR prouder that several students have been short since the 7.40s and 7.30s, they have solid profits, for me, this is just building my IB account slowly but surely, nice pattern, video lesson coming later today explaining this & $INVT

@ebroadworth Dude you rly need to watch Tims videos.. Brokers does not always have shares to short.. Some stocks can have full of them, some none. Watch HTMM dvd

@Raidon I am watching them and I realize this is the case. I didn't know if he tried with his etrade account since he has had issues with them since going to a smaller account. My etrade is only a 3k account so I didn't know if that was the case and if I need to contact them.

Shorting with TD AMERITRADE sucks balls in my experience. Very rarely do they have shares for StocksToTrade under $15 for me

@The_Bearded_Trader hence why I don't use TD :)
