Unable to short IWM using IB

I have only one thing to say to this: fuxx you!!! You are the moron here, nobody else. Get your act together and take it like a man not like a little girl. Or do you ride your bike wearing high heels and pink panties? Enough said!!!


Quote from Bob111:

is is a good question..but mine is still remains-IWM was not shortable till EOD...why? why one of the most liquid ETF's in US is not shortable @ IB at the day,when i have to hedge my shit? it is VERY rare event,but happens from time to time..maybe once or twice a year..i don't even know that inverse ETF's is even exists..futures-out of question,cause it would involve ridiculous amount of calculations to spread the risks equally across several accounts..short IWM was much easier..at least-it use to be..what a fuck...fuck all this fucking day trading..can't take this no more..good bye IB and fucking trading.
i'm on vacation for very fucking long time..time to travel,ride on my bike and MB..fuck all this BS..

nice mess with IB's short list at open...half of the stocks are not available for short

Your strategy depends on all names being available at all times for shorting at IB, else your position melts down? Just wondering.
 
no..but when all of sudden 1/2-1/3 of the "usual" list is not available and majority of stocks that are hitting my price levels right now are not shortable , it's make me... disappointed?

1/3 of usual IB short list is not available for short once again. how should i use this data? as a contrary indicator? :p

I just saw your post and checked the web site and lo and behold the short list is fine and there are 3,100,000 shares IWN available for shorting with 8700+ names in total available for shorting.

Note the date/time from the screenshot in the attached (and second note, I thought better and deleted the first two sentences on what I was going to post)

what's going on with IB short list recently? it's getting smaller and smaller every single day. from 12K+ symbols to just a bit over 8K in just a couple weeks
