What Are Etrade’s Rules on Short Selling?
Most brokers, Etrade included, require you to have a margin account with at least $2,000 in order to be able to short stocks. In order for you to be able to short a stock, Etrade must also be able to locate the shares to borrow. Even after the short is initiated, there is no guarantee Etrade will be able to let you keep it open indefinitely shares become harder to borrow. Etrade, just like TD Ameritrade and most brokers, does not allow shorting of OTC or penny stocks.
