Sell short microcap stocks

go to IB and see the shortable list - many micros on it, even many 1 penny stocks but

the problem is - the margin required

did this research awhile back but it probably still applies

How much margin is required?

Assume I have $50000 in my account and want to short 100000 share of a 0.1 penny stock, how much will ib charge for?

tnx
