Retail has trouble shorting <5

Good idea to restrict that. But most big outfits like pension funds, mutuals and such are prevented from positions <10 anyway. Lot brokers won't let little guy short <5. So hedge funds get a free sandbox along with vulture capital loaners. Those short to get a cheaper # of shares in hopes of big payoff should the beaten down Co get a buyout or recovery.
