"Looks like Interactive Brokers could come up with a 1000 for someone to short."

That's interesting. Not exectly a lot of shares though. But it indicates there may actually be some short interest.

I wonder what the margin requirement is? I checked with Shwab and posed a general question about shorting penny stocks. It seems that they allow it (unlike Scott) but he intimated that the margin requirement were usually such that usually one wouldn't want to bother with it.

Wonder if IB knows about the possible $17 / unit payout? I suspect that whatever their margin requirement is, it's probably not nearly high enough in this case.

This is great news. mosh is likely being shorted by some poor schmucks somewhere. Actually I feel sorry for the poor shmucks. Talk about a possible short squeeze for the record books...

Probably not enough shorted for a general squeeze, but individually - hope for their sake they are like most good shorts and knuckle down and do their DD before it is too late for them.
