These January shorts make no sense at all.
In January they were shorted between $5.50 and $6.70.
NOW, how much lower does anybody think it can go??
I could understand MRKR being shorted when it was at $12.50 or $11.00.
BUT, to short MRKR at $6 seems like a giant risk with very little gain.

Here's the deal with shorting.
We all know it the opposite of buying long, BUT it is ALSO opposite in it's risk/reward value.

When buying long, let's say you invest $1000. The MOST money you could possible lose is $1000 (if it goes to zero), but you have the potential to make $10,000 or $100,000.

Shorting is the opposite risk/reward.
You short a stock with a $1000 investment. The MOST money you can make is $1000 (if it goes to zero), but you have the potential to LOSE $10,000 or $100,000 (if it jumps up crazy).

Unless all of us who believe in MRKR's potential are just crazy and deceiving ourselves, I can not understand why anyone would short MRKR at $6.00 or $6.50.
It seems like a bet with very little upside and huge downside.
