`` Only shares held in a margin account are shortable, and otcbb shares cannot be held in a margin account (and cannot be bought on margin, and are not marginable - possible exception here if the PPS is over $2, or more, depending on broker)``

I hold my unmarginable shares in a margin account, but I cannot margin them. It is just more convenient to have all my shares in one place. For safety, I may move them to a new cash account; however, I won`t take possession of the shares by having them mailed out to me because I might want to sell them in a hurry. ORY
