Do any brokers have IMB shorts?

Quote from stock777:

did you know that $100 to 0

and

10 cents to zero

is the same return?

no need to thank me

Did you know a 1 day short squeeze from $100 to $500 is nearly impossible, but a 1 day short squeeze from 0.10 to 0.50 is highly probable?

Shorting a $5 stock is dicey, but shorting a $0.10 stock is stupid even if both end up at 0.

Even if you were to get a borrow on IMB, the margin requirement would be around $5/sh. And that's even if your broker let you even short something under 5 bucks.....
 
I may be wrong, but IndyMac ceased to exist. Shareholders on record as of July 11 will be eligible for any payout after depositors, bondholders, and other creditors.

IMB is a holding company. One of their subsidiaries was siezed by the Feds. The holding company still exisits even though it is essentially worthless.

A good comparison in what happened with NetBank. Although the banking subsidiary was siezed by the Feds in 2007, the holding company remains publicly traded today. The stock trades on the Pink Sheets under the symbol NTBKQ. The stock trades at 1 cent.

Does anyone know of a broker that has short shares available for IMB?

It is better to short DSL (Downey Financial) then IMB if you want to short something like that. DSL I think is on the same path.
