Beyond theory, your broker will lock $2.50 of your cash for each $0.15 share (margin). In order to sell a $900 short position (600 shares), you need to come up with cash of $15,000. A bit steep, don't you think?
Futhermore, I after checking with Interactive Brokers, there are currently no shares available for shorting.
BTW, I believe that getting rid of shorts was the main intention behind this split. As all the other shorties keep holding their positions tight, I seem to be one of the few who covered their short positions with a loss. So the split has hurt at least one shortie. ):
In conclusion, don't even think about shorting at these levels. Most of current short holders will cover somewhere below $0.8. Just my guess.
Remember, shorts are buying when no-one else does. (o;
