Short Selling - Stock Borrowing Restrictions


Julian7

Question

Hi, I'm new to Spread Betting and am trying to Short a stock.
However it comes up with the message "This market may not be sold to open due to stock borrowing restrictions in the underlying market.  Please call in if you need an explanation"

It's only on my demo account and the first time I tried to sell short.  Is the problem that IG don't want me to Sell Short on this stock specifically?

    • I'm very impressed with the way DOGE triumphed in the market over the years. Could CATE replicate that? Btw, will invest with some bucks that I'm willing to sacrifice.
    • In a bearish crypto market, one effective strategy for holders to safeguard and grow their portfolios is through earning campaigns on exchanges. These campaigns provide opportunities to earn passive income, even when prices are down. Exchanges like Bitget, Binance, and Coinbase are increasingly introducing new staking options and flexible savings plans that let users earn interest on their holdings. By diversifying across different earning programs, you can reduce risk while enjoying returns without the need for active trading.  Moreover, earning campaigns often foster a sense of community, encouraging collaboration and knowledge sharing. For instance, the recent "Double Your Profit & Cover Your Losses" campaign, featuring a $25,000 prize pool, has been a valuable opportunity for participants to soften the impact of the bear market. Personally, I've joined this campaign, and the market seems to be picking up. In essence, staying informed and participating in these campaigns can help you maintain steady income and ride out market volatility, positioning yourself for long-term gains.
    • So many hype on $CATE in the industry. The token is already up by 18% since this announcement. The tokenomics looks ok
