JFYI: From IBKR (Interactive Brokers)

For short positions in stock where the last sale price/share is less than $5, then the maintenance margin requirement is $2.50 per share or 100% of the stock value, whichever is greater.

And that's just the Margin requiremet! Doesn't include any fees or anything else.

So in order to short 1M shares in this POS you'll need at least $2.5M in your acc! Plus additional fees etc...

Feel free to correct me, if you think its wrong
