Can some of you compare your brokers availability to short vs. mine. I use Fidelity and checked for short availability for 5 stock today, ROS, NKE, COST, FORR and BRP.  Only NKE and COST showed any availability for shorting.  This seems odd to me and I wanted to verify with the group whether it is a Fidelity thing or a market thing.

Thanks in advance.

Just checked, MBTrading has all of those you listed available for shorting except for ROS.
