retail investors cannnot short stock like this you monkey.
Shows you k ow nothing about how the investment industry works or how what is happening is not due to retail investors
Where are you getting your information from? I’m a nobody investor and trade with cibc edge. I’ve talked with them and it’s very possible to short stocks as a retail investor. They said I would need to fill out additional paperwork and go through another credit check but said after that I would be given a max amount I could short. I would need to call each short in rather then use my app. (However I could cover by using the app by simply purchasing the stock.) He also said not every company is able to be shorted. I believe cibc has to personally carry extra of the stock to be able to loan it out.
Call your broker, it’s possible.
kinda makes you feel stupid eh? What were you saying about knowing nothing about how the industry works for retail?
