LOL laraz,

Thanks for making a point that I try to make over and over again here on this board and others.

There are people who use QMCI data without even realizing it.

shortsqueeze.com is just another example of a site that uses quotemedia market data, that you yourself are linking to.

This is a classic example of what I am talking about.

FWIW, just because someone doesn't understand advanced trading strategies, doesn't mean they don't exist.

If you want to short stocks, then find a broker who will let you.

Make the necessary account upgrades and show proof of your net worth and/or annual income. A full service broker will likely ask for some validation that you have sufficient knowledge and understanding of the risks (some people clearly do not.)

Every broker will make you sign a disclosure statement, releasing them of any liability in case you make the mistake of shorting a stock that could result in losses greater than your entire investment.

Transfer enough cash into your account to meet the minimum account balance requirements to make those upgrades. If you choose to participate advanced trading, it might be wise to have sufficient margin.

I have already linked to a few stock trading education sites to help people understand how stock trading works. Those sites rely on quotemedia market data as well.

It is obvious that while some people like to comment on this topic, they have yet to take any initiative to actually learn.

IMO and FWIW.
