I have been learning a bit about short selling. I was wondeing about the process. I've heard that when you short a company, you can only short a company that another person owns within the same brokerage company. I was planning on shorting ny stocks(sub $2 su. Bch has riteaid). But is this true? Or am I able to short any stock at any price regardless if someone within my compa ny network?

My brokerage account is through Optionshouse.
