with my long after I sold I saw could. borrow from IB right away so shorted but messed up and tried to buy more and brought my avg to 3.47 from 3.97 but had 100 more shares so know 200 shares to short because of a mistake and luckily wen the right way. if I bought buy mistake Id be freaking out but shorting seemed way easier for me to deal with I think I found my new strategy by accident when else can you make over 50 on accident and still have 100 shares to short
