You say you'd be ok with it, however, let's say you wanted to be a stock at a limit order, and you're actually seeing some shares at your price trading away from you. Are you going to come on here whining that someone else just bought the stock at .0011 and you want to also, but that ask is at .0033 and how come you're not getting your order filled?
And you keep saying shorting is riskless, but it's not. You may think so because you keep buying garbage stocks. If a market maker takes on a short position and that company suddenly gets bought out at a huge premium who do you think takes the big hit? There is unlimited risk for shorters.
I do have to wonder though, if you believe that a shorter has a guaranteed winner in a stock you're looking at, why in the world would you be considering buying that stock???
What about CSHD? You think today anyone short that stock is happy?
