Wrong. No broker "allows" shorting anything. The shorting regulations are made by the exchange.

Your only option would be ETFs - they are allowed to be shorted without the up-tick rule.

Exchange Traded Funds - qqqq, spy etc. Look them up at www.amex.com

ETF is Exchange Traded Fund... like a basket of stocks... or like trading a mutual fund real-time as though it were a stock.

Sorry, I could not resist!

You still need to "Borrow" ETF's even thought they are inherently "SEXY">>> Short Exempt.

Just a tidbit of usless info.

If you find one, join it fast cause they won't be around for long!

Sorry, don't mean to be critical but you have posted 2068 times on this site and you don't know what an ETF is? Good Lord.
