Stevi - being unborrowable with IG is not the issue. You seemed to be making a broader point about the stock being unborrowable more generally and hence chance of a short squeeze, although perhaps not your intention. It is clearly borrowable as other brokers allow shorts. For some ridiculous reason IG doesn't. Quite why a DMA provider has internal limits that restrict customers is beyond me. Seems nuts. That alone would make me want to have an alternative provider, at least as a back-up. Surprised you didn't like the other place as seems everybody seems to get best terms off them these days. Also probably the quickest for execution. You can get level 2 separately. Anyway, as you say perhaps if it isn't broken then no need to fix it (not to say you can improve something that is working mind you) and you have had a fantastic year as you said.....although still waiting to hear how much ;)
