Good luck finding some, I couldn't get any SPY all week! SPY was HTB, and it trades 300mm shares day....nuts!

Couldn't believe it myself. Penson (TOS) says its HTB. Likewise with the Q's

 

[dero]

any reason your not looking toward ProShares (SH, SDS) since SPY is HTB?

who is ur broker? that is very unusual. spy is something developed to manage risk. u probably made a mistake.
