There is not much to sweat about. There were only 4,429 shares reported shorted per May 31 (the latest data point). At 40 cents per share it will only require $1,772 to cover the position. http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/SIAF/short-sales
Are there additional shares shorted that are not reported? That may be case, but it is impossible to estimate. People who claim that there is significant short-selling going on in the SIAF stock are just speculating without having any factual grounds to support their claims. And even if there are short-selling going on in excess of what is being reported, it is of limited impact compared to the consequence of the massive issuance of financing shares.
