I have looked online endlessly and cant get a straight answer or the typical "Dont Short!" nonsense. But my question is suppose I would like to short 100 shares of XYZ at $30 how much would I need in my account (and its a margin acct)? disregarding the commissions of course. Im so confused.
A) $3000 like a typical long?
B) $4500 according to Reg-T explanations, which was confusing
C) whatever the broker says you need, according to their min requirements regardless of A & B
Thank you for the help.
