I shorted motorola today and instead of getting the cash back for reinvesting
I just ended up with a short position in my account. This means the cash
I recieved from selling motorola short isn't investable in anything that yields
a return (a money market for example). Is this pretty typical for
invidual investment accounts, or does my broker suck :)?
