Can’t short specific stocks


Hey all I have TD Ameritrade. Today I went to short sell EDN. However, TD wouldn’t let me, I called and they blamed it on Market Makers not having shorts to sell. However, I can buy the stock. So if I can buy it, why can’t I take a short position on it? There are no option chains either, so how does one take a bet against a company like this? How can the Market Makers not offer borrowed shares?

The current SI on EDN is 0.31%.

Thank you
