retail accounts cannot short 100 million shares of many stocks as there is no shares to short or limited. and you have to pay your brokerage fees to short. lots of stock had no shares to short. to short shares, the buyer would have to borrow money or the shares are on margin for the broker to lend it out and shorter has to pay a short fee which discourages shorting for retail accounts as a result only professional or market makers can short naked as they don't have to pay shorting fees. so any cash you get from shorting you cannot collect interest on it.
