poppycon; Obviously paim can easily be shorted.

The last official report, as of August 10, showed over 100,000,000 short.

And, that's not "Not some Mickey Mouse story about foreign countries , of shore accounts or some story about US brokers and out of country connections".

However, it is probably not possible for the usual pinky trader, with tiny assets, using a cheap-commission on-line broker. outsided does not seem to fall into that classhort class.

outsided claims to have a real broker, that he calls on an actual telephone, and often visits, and has known personally, for many years. And, he claims that his accounts with that broker are always 100x his short position, although only 10x is required, for him. And, he usually only day-trades.

If you don't believe him, just ask him yourself. Or, save up for a cruise. And try doing some direct DD, to back up your unfounded doubts.

As you said, "... it’s really easy for people to talk nonsense on these stock boards - but not so easy to back up the BS they spout..."

"Duh! Most major brokers have global connections or branches",
and, most successful Brokers actually talk on the phone, to their successful clients, who know that cheap internet trading rules are much more restrictive than personal broker rules.

Averaging-down is profitable, for shorters, only.
