Apparently, they allow me to do just that and there is no settlement delays which is why a cash account looks more attractive to me. Their short list is crap I tried shorting 10 companies and none of them were allowed. I think unless it's big companies like appl I'll have a hard time finding any short shares.I think from a previous post that he is Canadian like myself.
I've never heard of buying 2x your account anywhere here with a cash account.
