In the United States or for any US Citizen, shorting requires $1 Margin PER SHARE TO BE SHORTED. So if a person wanted to short this stock for 1,000,000 shares, they'd need $1 m USD in their account to cover it.

Very much not a friendly proposition.


Shorters are one of the great myths in Pinky land. It's like Chris Angel's magic tricks.. not really magic but distraction. Watch the left hand while the RIGHT hand is the one thats doing the task.

Shorting is like that here. 99% distraction, 1% maybe reality. Generally is used to "explain" why a stock is suddenly going down, when those diluting do not want it known.
