there r only 180 stocks available in FnO....what about the rest 1500-2000 stocks? in general, a big player can short any listed stock if their broker(s) can arrange those stocks for him....but small retail traders can only short stocks in FnO segment... this often is a double edged sword coz this limits the stocks u can take a short call on, and often half chances r acted upon by retail traders coz they dont have much options. there always exist better short sell opportunities in other stocks, but alas!, not for a small trader..!
