I'm asking - perhaps out of total ingnorance...are you saying that if I short a stock that's at $1.00, and that stock goes to $0.90, then I have to ....what? Cover my position? I thought huge downward moves were the entire point of shorting a stock.

I get that a large upward movement will bring on a margin call, but I'm not familiar with the downside comment. (I've never shorted a stock in my life, so please refer to my first sentence, above).
