Momo Pennies Are NOT Good Shorts
The whipsaw from these momentum penny stocks can be absolutely devastating. When a stock can move 100-500% in a single day, I would strongly caution taking out a short position and leaving yourself exposed to unlimited upside. Additionally, the liquidity issues with penny stocks can be a major problem. One day a stock could trade hundreds of millions of shares and the next day it barely trades 10m. That means a person could get seriously jammed holding a short position that they are unable to liquidate. And all that is only if your trading platform even allows you to short pennies.
