You are correct, retail is not shorting here it is institutional investment groups such as NITE and SUNR that are.....NITE alone does about 20 million dollars in trades a day, so they are certainly able to short penny stocks..... http://www.otcqx.com/qx/market/marketMaker Knight Execution & Clearing Services LLC $7,805,593 Today was a slower day for NITE only $8 million in volume not bad....
As an aside note, those shorts are usually not posted till about 6:00 pm EST time. Those figures show selling and covering, and have been quite accurate in the past..........
Much of the run today was mm's buying from themselves, I was watching L2 carefully..............
