Typically you cannot short an ETF. You have to buy the inverse.

I short them all the time, not sure where you got that bit of info from?

Apparently this was just yesterday. I just got a confirmation from IB that TLT is available for short and in the platform I can see almost 1.6M available.

I just found strange how such a liquid thing was not at disposable yesterday.

Does anyone have experience with very active short ETFs?
