There are no real retail shorts in penny stocks. Shorting penny stocks is a myth created on boards years back because many penny stocks are dilute to death! There are naked short MM's but they must cover within 3 trading days according to SEC REG SHO rules and the only shorting or selling they really do is intraday selling of shares and then buying them back. Some will claim to short as scare tactics or blame others for shorting when some penny stocks go down or blame a chart. If you have a good stock that drops it can be profit taking, etc. and many other things but there are almost nil short in any penny stocks. MM's can borrow shares during the day for trading between clients but they must cover in 3 trading days according to the SEC rules. RGBP has 2,401 short shares. Shorting penny and especially sub penny stocks is a complete myth most do not understand. It is a shame you read about shorts and there really are none as far as penny stocks go! ABSOLUTELY ALMOST NONE, NIL IN ANY PENNY STOCKS. It would also cost $2.50 to short a single share of any penny stock and most will not spend a quarter million dollars to short 1 million shares of a penny stock. Here is the correct link to Finra. These are the real short numbers and they do them every 2 weeks. The OTC daily site is scam numbers based on buys and sells. Most stocks are manipulated by flip traders or those who missed the boat. Most of those daily numbers are dilution if the stocks are being diluted or profit takers along with panic selling on red. You will also see that if you go to any penny stocks board over time you will see the same. No real short positions. Type in any penny stock symbol when you get to the front page.
