    What is the cost to day trade short sell a stock?

    no. if you're not daytrading, it throws a lot of other situations into the mix. and your first question isn't what i answered. you'll need to call your brokerage, because each one handles the situation differently.

    What is the cost to day trade short sell a stock?

    if it's an easy to short stock, none. if your broker has to get a borrow/locate, it depends on the stock, and your clearing firm's/broker's charges for getting a locate.

    I'm going to become a daytrader - looking for a trading group / network

    LiveDeal (LIVE) not such a good deal?
