We all know that the idea of shorting American penny stocks on foreign exchanges like the Berlin Exchange is preposterous. Equally laughable is the concept of offshore “position rolls” where bundles of millions of fake shares are said to be tossed back and forth between investment houses like a hot potato…
Bottom line is…Has anyone ever heard of a massive “short squeeze” actually happening with a penny stock?
Still…It’s very interesting why this can be such a sensitive subject among posters. The very mention of words and phrases like “dividend,” short squeeze” and “naked shorting” can have the same effect as yelling “fire!” in a crowded theatre. An otherwise placid message board can become very heated in no time.
Makes me think that where there’s smoke, their must be at least a little fire.
