1812 Brewing Company Inc (KEGS)

[VeronicaFox]

There’s so much misinformation about shorts. I don't know why any rational astute trader would ever believe the pink sheets are being abusively shorted. The financial requirements alone prevent abusively shorting OTC stocks like KEGS.

Hypothetically speaking, locate the shares, start a short with 1,000,000 shares @ $.0005. That's $500 for the principal and $2,500,000 in Maintenance Margin as well as at least 102% of the principal in what is called Supplemental margin. There will be about 20% in fees and commissions. IF a successful short is made, gains are capped to 99%, losses are infinite. HIGHEST GAIN POSSIBLE would be about $379. Meanwhile the trader has put over $2,500,000 at risk.

Think about it, that makes no sense. Don’t be fooled by these preposterous “shorty” claims.
