stockerup, i dont think Ms DeMando is correct.. if you open a margin account with a typical discount broker (MyDiscountBroker.com rings a bell) and your buys and sells add up to more than your buying power, the clearing firm will close your account for what is called "freeriding"...

in that case yes.. you can short the isld bid.. -qwik

the answer is no, you cannot short a nasdaq stock at or below the bid a downtick under any circumstance.. the amex does allow shorting on downticks.. and on the NYSE you can simply create a hedge box.. keep in mind that market makers are exempt from the downtick rule.. hope this...
