YES. You can short them, but you'll require a locate because they are not on the 'easy to borrow" list. Last I looked they were charging -1% to -10%. This changes all the time. At this time, our firm passes on negative rates from the Prime Broker, some firms charge an extra premium.
 
to reiterate - yes, they're borrowable, but the availability of them varies widely from firm to firm.

generally, the ones with very heavy activity are shortable (although sometimes they wind up being unavailable when 'everyone' wants them).
