Where is a list of shortable stocks in NYSE or Nasdaq?

Question

I want to know which stock in NYSE or Nasdaq we can short. Is it on NYSE or Nasdaq site? Or is it on a brokerage site?

Answer 1

There is no general list of stocks that you can short. That varies by broker and their ability to "locate" the stock to be borrowed. However, there are lists of stocks that you are not allowed to short. These lists are due to Regulation SHO which was meant to cut down on "naked" shorting, where people short stock knowing that they cannot borrow it. (It's one of the sleazier aspects of the market.)

The NASDAQ, NYSE, and AMEX SHO lists are available at the links below. (Creation of the lists is done by exchange.)

Answer 3

in order to short a stock, your broker has to borrow it somewhere from someone who is long.

in theory, all NASDAQ and NYSE stocks are shortable -- and your broker may think otherwise.


on the NYSE, the 'uptick' rule applies ... you can only go short if the last tick (traded price) was 'up' from the prior tick. NASDAQ has no such rule.

Margin rules apply to all short sales. Your broker will enforce them.


***
Shorting is usually thought to be riskier than going long because the volatility [size of swings] is usually higher, esp. at the end of the move.

you'll want to be sure of how shorting fits into your trading strategy and plan. if you don't have a written strategy and plan, or don't know the answer, don't short.

Answer 6

You can short any stock.

Stocks that pay high dividends may be expensive (and stupid) to short -- since you have to pay the dividends when you short a stock. But you can still do it.
