Centaurus Diamond Tech. Inc. (fka CTDT)

Shorting can be a good thing in that it allows for a market force to push down an overvalued stock, amongst other reasons. However in this case it's much more likely to come into play in a manipulative way.

However, I continue to questions whether a large short position even exists. I don't trust the data from buyins.net on its own.

I also question if anyone can even possibly buy CTDT on margin. If you can please let me know. For everyone who has read their broker's margin account rules, the amount they can borrow to increase leverage decreases with lower priced shares. I have Scottrade and you cannot borrow on margin for anything under $4. So I still think it is technically impossible and practically (as in the risk-reward isn't ther) is undesirable.

I'm mostly going off of personal experience here so I'd love to hear otherwise.
