I would like to be short as this is a stand out candidate in my opinion. I haven't shorted up until this point.

18th Feb - CHINA URGES NZ TO LIFT TRAVEL BAN Chinese student bags packed ready to go.............
According to Wu, the number of confirmed cases has been dropping for a consecutive 13 days outside Hubei province and the number of recovered patients has increased rapidly. More than 10,000 patients have been cured and discharged from hospital, she said.
New Zealand, however, followed countries such as the US, Australia and Japan in restricting entry by foreign nationals arriving from mainland China for 14 days. Over the weekend, Health Minister David Clark extended the ban for a further eight days and said that would be reviewed every 48 hours.
Wu said the bans have already had an impact on bilateral cooperation, with 40 per cent of Chinese students who study in New Zealand now stuck in China.

Ive read it here that CMC markets have been suggested for "shorting". I wouldn't go near them with a barge pole, if it's not standard offering of theirs or with any meaningful amount of moola.
A few weeks ago I refired up my account with them (dormant from yonks ago when I dabbled in a bit of currency "gambling" - which is what it is.)with the view of leveraging to buy OCA .
Well ... long story short, they don't offer OCA but told me they would ,on 2 occasions and confirmed with an email, as long as it was over the phone. So I pop in 2k to trial the procedure.
They buy me OCA at $1.23 as agreed(that was the right price at the time), I find out the next day they bought me OCA in Aussy @ $1.23, not NZ at $1.23 , So I'm down 5%.
I phone them and they said they would reverse the trade, which they promptly did to their credit.
But this is where it got wierd, they then called me to say they don't , and won't, do OCA (after saying twice they would).
I then get an email saying they will close my account fully, as I am unsuitable? Say what???. In quite a harsh email I have been unceremoniously termited despite ALL of our conversations , to their poor English speaking call Center's, being very pleasant.
These guys clearly demonstrated through numerous conflicting story's they don't know what the heck they are up to, outside of standard procedure.
There is no way I would trust them with any substantial money, even for there standard offerings.
I have no doubt they willl refund the 2k in full but will be more than pleased to have my account shutdown by them.
maybe they are still pi**ed with me because I walked away with a currency profit.
qantas rising stronly in aus even after there outlook
it would appear CMC have poor customer service but I've never had any problems, and I wouldn't keep large amounts in their account, is not really necessary with leverage.
And yeh instant execution is actually better than DB or Craigs, you pull the trigger yourself. But hey they're a bucket shop effectively so I take care.
Interesting post Mav. You have struck me as a perfectly reasonable, level headed, polite and intelligent guy both times we have met so for it to come to this with CMC markets is quite concerning. For what its worth I went to a lot of trouble to complete their online application last week and at the end of quite an exhausting and thorough process, I pressed send and got a message there is an error in your application. It did not highlight where in the many pages the error was. WTF ? They have all my contact details for 4 working days now but have not contacted me to finalize the process. I've decided I am not going to chase them.
Interesting. I used CMC for some 4x trading. Lost two small parcels mostly from not having enough to cover sudden spikes and they cash you out when your reseves hit flat line. So I decided that Maverick's gambling wasn't for me either (even though it was fun while it lasted).
Didn't try trading stocks with them because their offering was pretty limited.
