Relax with the caps lock. Interactive brokers and suretrader both have long lists of OTC and penny stocks to short. TD will short sell shares by simply overselling your stake, as well, sometimes. Some other reasons for checking the finra numbers for short sales will indicate that MM's are running out of shares to sell for liquidity. That usually shows that companies may not be diluting, but MM's are still trying to maintain a liquid market, so they naked short shares until they are forced to cover. The idea is, it still plays a role in the price action and the way a security trades. Also groups have been slammed recently for doing this in concert, so they can control the price through wash sales and short usage. You can also negotiate with your broker or brokerage company platform to reduce the equity necessary for opening/maintaining short positions. I am not inexperienced, sir, you just don't seem to be very well informed. TCEL also has a history of being on the NASDAQ threshold list many times before. I will let you check what that means. Also, some financiers and noteholders may attempt to short securities right before converting shares to maximize their conversion. I would suggest to stop making assumptions before letting insults fly.
