Good morning fellow shareholders and friends.

Do shorters have a limited time to cover their shares?

Fairly new investor here as well...I think I understand what shorting is. The dynamics thereof which I am not so keen on.

Basically you are selling shares of which you do not own to Mr. Market, thereon expecting/hoping/betting/predicting that you will be able to buy back those shares at a lower price.

Also,
wouldn't shorting a stock with a very low float be extremely risky?
