My strategy is to search the entire market looking for certain set ups, so I am often entering off the wall stocks which are sometimes hard to short. In addition, I like to be short and long the market, in other words, I like to have some short positions as well as long at the same time.

Therefore, I want to find a broker that has as many stocks as possible to short. You thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated.

This thread does not seem to be showing up in the "new posts" area. Anyone know why?

If you really mean "New Posts", it won't show up for you unless there is a new unread post in the thread. So if you have visited the thread or posted to it then it won't be in that list for you until someone else posts to it. It would be in the list for others so long as there is an unread post in the thread they haven't seen yet.
