I can be convinced it is theoretically possible to short this stock, but the prior posts pinting to two retail brokerages if i understand correctly indicated (a) they had to have shares to short, and one of brokerage firms mentioned didnt(b)also if I understand correctly there was a margin required of $2.50 per share (?) ,hence rather obvious I believe no one would put up such a margin.

(If my understanding incorrect of the prior post on this subject please do tell me where I am wrong).

I have been waiting for a few years for someone to show me 1 retain brokerage account where I could short a stock under $.08.

Market makers do have a period of time they can short a stock, but every market maker I have ever talked to says for a stock trading like this it would extremely unusual for a market marker to short past 1 to 3 days, and especially past 5 days. So they say.
