 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.
