Yeah, I heard the same thing, but oddly enough the shares aren't moving up today. It spiked after the news in after-hours yesterday and that's when I shorted it.

It's highly unlikely that I would still be holding the position by then since I tend to cover shorts within a matter of days or a few weeks, but I'm just curious what the possibilities could be. This is an uncommon situation.

I recently shorted some shares of a company that just did a run-off and has decided to cease active operations. They just released a statement saying that they intend to delist from the NYSE early next year. Here is the full statement ->...

Do you mind me asking who you left and the reasons why? Who did you choose to move to?

I plan on switching to a different trading platform in the very near future. I'm currently using Fidelity, but due to the limitations with their platform, and poor customer service, I'm looking at several other brokers and leaning towards IB. Among my current assets, I'm holding several short...

What an insightful post. Thank God we have people like you here to enlighten us! :rolleyes:

Thank you Robert, I will definitely take a look at Lightspeed. What is the margin rate, and what extended hours are covered with that platform?

I started dabbling in day and swing trading a few months ago, and until now I've only purchased for the long. I'd like to also start shorting stocks when the opportunity is right. First, is there any particular broker/platform that's considered the best for shorting? I noticed Interactive...

My sympathies that you're only grinding out 1k a day. :) Me and about a million other people would love to know what strategy you're using to consistently do that. You only mentioned that you're shorting and longing stocks with the most volatility. Can you go into a little more depth?
