If you are posting in regards to my reply to Getrader, I dont care when TKO got off Reg Sho list, its still going to be a hard stock to short. Most broker/dealers will have a hard time finding the stock to borrow so it wont be shortable. I have my doubts that he did, as his timing would be rather odd.
Does not matter to me one way or the other. If he managed to short a few thousand shares and make a little money, although the risk/reward was horrible, good for him.
These types of stocks are dangerous shorts. They are illiquid, dont trade technically, and with any type of good news, you can blow your account out.
Better shorts are larger companies, underperforming their peers, with a very liquid float, in sectors thats are out of favor. Like most of the home builders and most of the financials. Including GS, which I am still unfortunately holding a long position :(
