Need help with BETTER short selling acct.

Question

Everytime I find a good short value, etrade seems to never have the shares to borrow. All it is I know, they know it is going down too so they wont allow investors to short it because they do it themselves.

Where do I find a better acct. to trade by. What are you using ?

NBS - Big short and results are monday. They borrowed 15M $ 2 weeks ago. If the results were good they would announce right away. Anyway, shooting up today because of the fall on Monday. Yet, the shorts are on all of the board saying what a great Company, blah blah....shorting it to retail investors...

Anything decent to short, I can't get. go figure, they are blocking retail investors from making any money at all...

I would think Ameritrade has more, also if you went with a full service firm like ML you might have better luck..That or try a place that is a market maker..less of a retail approach.
