copi is shorted constantly...
1] 'Interactive Brokers' even does it IN the U. S. of A.
2] MM's short copi for a living. It's their main job.
3] Brokers short copi, and don't even have to try to
'borrow' shares, if the short is covered within 3 days.
4] Brokers short copi, and sometimes even have 'borrowed'
shares available, from longs who are their clients, or any
long with pennys + pinkys in 'margin' accounts, [= most].
5] copi is even on the SHO list, frequently. And those are
only long-term shorts. Short-term shorts [under 3 days],
are never even published, but account for most pinky shorts.
6] 2-5% of All trades, in the World, every day, are shorts.
7] 50% of all Options + Futures are shorts. They MUST be.
Facts like the above SHOULD be in All Fair+Balanced iBox's.
If not, the iBox is deliberately hiding the most important
facts about their favorite pinky/penny.
Concerning "unmarginable stock" , like copi is Not [we think],
because longs buy it in margin accounts constantly [we think].
But, it does not matter to us, or most Hedge Funds, because
the short is 10x [or more, for others] backed-up by cash,
or nearly-cash collateral. We use Intermediate-Term T-Bill
Bonds [which are better than Bond Funds, because there are
no Mutual Fund fees + expenses]. They just sit in our account,
at our Broker, and make 4+% cash interest, largely tax-free.
They make great collateral, and are better than cash, which
makes Zero interest. Or 'Money-Market Funds', which earn less
interest, and are Not FDIC 'Insured'.
But, 4% Interest per year is too low, especially with taxes
[for those who profit], and inflation [for everybody].
So, flippers + shorters + Hedge Funds use the collateral
[which keeps earning 4+%], to flip + short, from anywhere in
the world where it is ok [and nice to vacation]. And, if they
play with 10% of their collateral, and double their bets,
every year, or 6 months, or 3 months, the make 8%, or 12%,
or much more, every year. And, the risk is very small, with
pinkys + pennys, that bounce high+low, frequently, like copi.
Especially if the constantly dilute, and have 8x-Super-Toxies,
and keep losing money, and 'hope to make some by July'.
[All pinkys hope to make money, and most do, by selling shares.]
So, copi is great for flippers + day-traders + shorters,
because we All already know these facts, and use them,
to make money faster. Some of us on many pennys + pinkys.
Especially the most bouncy, like copi.
Or, ones that have been recently [and still are being]
'over-advertised' , like copi.
We love the recent up-bounce of copi, since we own no copi's,
since we covered. We are just waiting. And, the higher it
bounces up, for no reason, the faster it can drop 20%, and
then we're back, for more quick ~40-80% profit, which,
with bouncy pinks + pennys, only takes 2-4 weeks.
We are exactly like the copi longs, and are also longing
for 0.06 copies, shortly. The, we diverge, like flippers.
extra, Sincerely [and only ioo, as usual].
By the way.
Shorts + flippers don't 'incite fear' any more than longs
who constantly 'over-advertise'. And, the SEC only chases
pump&dumping longs, and their massively diluting CEO. And,
finally, shorts already sold, so they can only buy back.
Whereas, longs already bought too much, so they can only
sell, and make copi go down, fast. And, pumpers always say
that they are buying more 'cheap shares' , and claim that
shorts are trying to buy 'cheap shares'. There are no cheap
copies, and never were. Because copi never made a penny
profit, and we think that it never will make a penny for
any investor, except flippers + day-traders + shorters,
and the CEO, of course.
Bottom-line : Pinks + pennys, that always lose money, and
massively dilute, and are 'over-advertised' , are not a
'good investment' for those who think that others who are
professionals are just 'inciting fear in the susceptible by
doing so' . Anyone who can't absorb copi dropping below 0.02,
very soon, and then drifting lower, should become more
susceptible to fear, ASAP, and act sooner.
