Of course they will sell lol, but not for quite some time, and not to the stock goes up much higher than these levels. Again, these guys run plays for 2 to 4 weeks. Yes they will sell some into the run, but not enough to hold down the stock or kill the run.
Why would anyone take a short position in a stock at the beginning of the run lol? You do realize that for a short to make money, the stocks pps actually has to go down from the price they shorted it at. If someone took out a short position at .19 and then the stock went up to .40, they would have to wait for it to come all the way back down to .19 again, and then drop below that before they would even start to make money. On top of that, most brokers will make you cover if a stock goes up that much after you take a short position in it.
People who short plays like this don't take out short positions until the run starts to run out of a steam and it starts to go down. So you can give up on the whole "people are shorting it now" theory. All anyone is doing now is buying this stock, and taking some profits at the ASK on the way up. Once this runs for a few weeks, and finds its peak and starts to pull back, that is when people will short it, not before.
And again, so few people will even be able to short this stock that it will have no impact on the stock. The reason stock plays go down isn't because people are shorting it in large numbers, it's because the longs are cashing out at the same time and exiting the stock.
