Shorting KLAC

Hello
I just wanted to know if you can short KLAC today?

I had the best (for me) setup for shorting just now and wanted to do it @36.53 or 54 around 10:45am for some quick profit but I couldnt.
My IB System telling me that its not on NASDAQ list (?)

can anyone explain me or tell me website that describes about how the rules work?

I thought its a small question (and very newbie but I am :>) but I wanted to know about it ASAP so I made new thread

thank you for your help

Thank you for the info.

It turned out I had made some money if I could have shorted aiiiii....

No wonder the price keeps going up hee hee


Thank you

Is KLAC really not on the short list? I used to short it all the time with IB, and I am paper trading it right now because I might start trading it again. If it isn't shortable, I will have a problem. This doesn't seem right though. I noticed that there is a KLOC on their shortable list. Could this be a typo?
 
It was not available a couple of weeks ago also. Maybe on Monday. May be a good reason to have a backup account.

Maybe the swingtype's are holding KLAC waiting for it to take
a nice big tumble like Humpty Dumpty... :p

This could by why you can't get a hold of a short on it?
