That's a house rule, depends on the broker. You might have to "put up" $5.00 to short a $2.50 stock.

But I wouldn't object if we use $5.00 as the lower limit for a short.

You're right. It is my broker's rule, or was. I haven't checked lately.

He that sells what isn't his'n, may end up goin to prison...

$5 is fine with me as a minimum price for stocks to short.

Taro, chop chop!

Of course, I'd prefer $5 as a starting point for entering stocks long also.

Taro, we should add some rule that just as you can sell a stock on any trading day, you can also cover a short on any trading day.
