Target price for HESG is $2.51, but that's just my opinion the price that is most cost prohibitive to the Market Makers.
Put all things related to HESG to the side. HESG has always been Off the Topic here. I want to discuss the technical facts of the trade of any trade, that relates to short interest and the manipulation that takes place.
No Margin CALL for Shorts Unless $2.50 PPS is met, 2.5M for every $100 shorted at .0001
700M shorted at .0002 = $140,000.00 140k /100 = 1,400 x 2.5M = HESG Margin Call 3.5 Billion @$2.50
Now back to your regularly schedule off the topic inquiries.
A Few Hundred HESG Institutional Investors, No sorry. Is this that what you are thinking? HESG had only 19 shareholders?
19 owners of a 20 billion share company? Wasn't it a few hundred owners not long ago?
But these number can be wrong and there might be 19 shareholders left in HESG
HESG|Short 763,703,064|Volume 1,321,101,443|as of Nov. 3, 2009
Float(shares) 600,000,000 as of Mar 9, 2009 * Number of Shareholders of Record 187 as of Dec 8, 2008
If the float doubled by November, maybe there would be some way to rationalize this. 700M shorts with 600M to 1.2B Float would still equal over 50% with the benefit of the doubt.

Mutual funds also have flippers who also take advantage of tax deductions at the end of the year. I really don't think the $68.73, is going to matter... will it? Why

Please must we go through this foolishness,
Legit Questions, Who Can Short HESG?
No Margin CALL for Shorts Unless $2.50 PPS is met, 2.5M for every $100 shorted at .0001
Ameritrade and Scottrade I believe have no shorting under $5 limit.
I found this that might help
Anyone can short pennies...but for the average trader, the cost is "prohibitive"- the margin requirements.
For example at the broker that I use, you have to have $2.50 margin per share to short a stock under $2.50. So if you short 1000 shares of a stock at $2, you have to have $2,500 in your account ($2.50 x 1000).
If you want to short 1million shares of a stock at .0001, you have to have $2.5mllion in your account, and 1million shares at .0001 is only $100.
So it wouldn't make sense to do. The bright side is that if you do short something down there, you won't get a margin call unless it exceed $2.50, which isn't very likely for a .0001 stock.
But again, you'd never short $100 worth of a penny stock if you had $2.5 mil in your account. Or would you? Knight Capital would know
Market Makers borrow shares from Brokerages, then short the stock. Is it legal? Roger O.Rinney seems to think so.
