The best online broker for Shorting

[DogDayTrader]

HM talking about shorting!!!
Do you guys think shorting is more profitable or less risky? I am new and in the goggle finance forum I found that everybody hates shorter.

This topic is probably something that should be discussed in Philosophy 101. Personally I view shorting the same as going long. Both profit and risk are highly subjective and everyone has their own risk level and return they would like to see on their investment. If you can predict (or believe, feel, etc.) a stock is going to go up in value and make a profit on it, then why is it any different if you can make money on a stock when the value decreases. For some reason there is a negative stigma attached to shorting, probably because people are profiting off someones loss; circle of life. Without sadness there would be no happiness, without night no day. Just my opinion.

You can double check the dates through a google search or seeking alpha and biomed reports...just because they are scheduled, doesnt mean they will announce...look at poor HEB.

That is an excellent suggestion. Stock charts are helpful tools needed by every stock market investor. These charts aim to help stock market players in their investments by showing them the graphical trends of a certain stock, mutual fund, or index they would like to put their money.

Hi,
As per my knowledge IB (Interactive Brokers) was the best broker for shorting.They offer Forex market also with the same account. You just need marginal account for shorting. I think their minimum balance for opening an account was little bit high ($10000).


You can see the list of shortable stocks in IB here.....

Interactive Brokers will give you a waver for deposit funding less than 10000$. Probably as low as $2000
