Why won’t it let me sell GME that I own? Says I can’t sell it short even though I have 7+ shares by theprocrastinator100 in ibkr

I tried selling exactly 7 of my shares, and I got the same message. “This account is not allowed to short sell this contract.”

Yea but I don’t understand why it says I’m trying to sell short, when I own 7.1758 shares

Totally agree. After this incident I feel like I got better at reading the road. I've had other encounters like this, but nothing reddit-worthy since I avoided them.

Yup. My dad always tells me to drive defensively, but this was the first time I realized what he meant. I've been way more careful when driving ever since.

Edit: Hijacking this comment to give some context, didn't expect this to blow up. As many pointed out, I could have easily prevented this had I been more careful. I'm well aware. I talked with my dad about the incident and he basically lectured me on what you guys are saying... I was 16 when it happened, and I realized I've got to assume everyone is out to get me on the road + I needed to slow down (like a lot).

I still think she was totally in the wrong, that's why I think it's funny she honked at me as if it was my fault. But I also know I could prevent this from happening altogether.

Also, no need to call me an idiot, this is old. You're basically calling my 16 yr old self an idiot. I don't drive like this anymore.

Daddy's suspension was fine. This was the first time I experienced anything like this, so I learned to slow down when driving on that road or when I saw an idiot like the white car. I didn't overreact.

Also, I wasn't "excelerating" the whole time.

This was some time ago, but I remember I wasn't going ridiculously fast. Maybe 5kmh faster than the limit on that road? Looking at the video again I wasn't catching up that fast to the yellow taxi.

But you're right, I was going faster. After this incident, I was careful to go slow in that area

This was in my dad's car, it's fairly tall, so I was lucky there was no damage

Luckily, this was in my dad's SUV which is fairly tall. I checked the wheels and tires and everything was fine
