You are right, that is how they cover air. They have to buy them on the market and that explains to me what is going on now. For example, if they have air in say my account for the shares I bought at .80. They could have bought them today for .60 and make a .20 profit. Just one little example of the big picture that is only one avenue of shorting. That is what happened to Amerijunk and PAIV.
