    Newb question; how to shorts shares that are not avail?

    the problem with that is the reason for the short in the first place may disappear by the time you fill the order. Do you get a message saying the order was found - do you still want to short? Or do you just fill it. How are you notified for the fill? A lot of these stocks are very fast moving.

    Newb question; how to shorts shares that are not avail?

    Thanks but the stock does not trade options. It's just weird IB's whole "we'll try to locate shares for you" but no actual method describing what needs to be done to initiate the process.

    Newb question; how to shorts shares that are not avail?

    He guys if you don't know that's fine. But I'm not asking for trading advice. It's just a technical question that I've not experienced with other brokerages. I hoped i'd get a quicker reply here the IB cs. Or possibly some times on getting unavail shares. The mom factor is pretty large on ET.

    MAGAtard shoots someone dead for picking up trash

    the woman was in the driveway - not in the bedroom. a warning shot could not have been an option? Are you seriously condoning killing people over theft. Even stealing does not have a death penalty in a 3d world shithole.

    GME and AMC Reddit Traders getting Slaughtered

    "We're only questioning this cause it came from a message board." There it is. Brokers and analysts don't know what to think, because this wasn't kicked off by their good old boys club; it was regular people. If GME's surge was planned and instigated by Wall Street, they'd all be patting...
