13th_floor, I just plugged NTRZ into my IB streamer and I see it has shares available to short sell, but I have never heard of a stock that was less than $5 being marginable within the US.

Zuber, If you really care if below $5's are shortable why don't you just call IB?
contact the Help Desk at 1-877-442-2757.

13th_floor, I guess I will. I thought maybe you could provide some information since you are doing it but I can do the research myself.

Zub,
All I know is I was told by a friend it could be done,so I tried it and have so far tried to short 15 under $5's and have gotten fills on 13 of them.
Look at CNOA, running on hype for 2 weeks till it went red just on 12/12, shorted it as it fell below $4, now it sits at $2.10.
These are the kind I just wait for.

13th_floor, no kidding. A lot of these sub $5 stocks consistently lose money and so do little more than rise to test resistance and drop again.
