Almost no broker will let a retail investor short an OTC stock. The only one I know that will is located offshore and their margin requirements are ridiculous. And my son-in-law has worked on Wall Street for about 25 years, currently at one of the big houses, and he laughs everytime I have ever mentioned shorting a penny stock. He says, even if you could short it, no sane person would ever short such a stock because of the huge upside that could wipe you out. IMO, this is why the one broker that allows OTC shorting has such huge margin requirements. I think they want you to have $2.50 in cash in your acct for every share you want to short.

And yes, these boards are always blaming shorts for a decline in their favorite stock. It is just plain ole selling.
