The pool of shares available to a broker to offer for shorting is limited. We can only provide shares that are held in margin accounts, with a debit balance, and that have agreed to allow them to be loaned out. If an account holds the shares and does not meet these requirements, we can not offer them for shorting.
Request for shorting are handled on a first-in, first-filled basis. We regret our available pool of shares for this security was not available when your request was received.
