All pinksheet stocks are being shorted just like this everyday. Daily short we are seeing with VIPR is quite normal. I think you and some other members here feel odd with VIPR short because, since I am probably the very first one that graphed the short around here, and made it very to see the extent of how much VIPR is being shorted. You just didn't noticed with other stocks how much they are being shorted. If you make the short chart of other stocks to compare, you will see that VIPR short is very normal. I know it sucks, this is really normal.
