"We are talking Wall Street at large"
if we are talking penny stocks and kblb in particular (which we are) then yes it IS true..and in which case, no we are not talking about Wall Street at large...
"Here you now say that it's too expensive and risky for anyone else to do so. This is your opinion and is NOT substantiated by FACT."
it is a FACT...
"Many have the money and certain amounts of risk are already part of the market structure."
not many have the kind of money needed to short pennies and make it profitable...and if they do, they are not dumb enough to take on the kind of risk they would encur with shorting a penny stock...its actually not so much the risk as much as it is the profit is simply not worth it..
"What's a few million,here or there,to those that have it to manipulate"
people with tens of millions don't risk millions on shorting pennies...the reason they have that much money is because they are not stupid..
hedge funds are run by people who make their money by investing other peoples money wisely and profitable....they don't have a few million to lose or invest unwisely...just having such a short on their record would not look good...
tie up a few million to make a few thousand?...and in kblb's case, 1 mil dollars is 17 mil shares....in a stock that averages less than a million day in volume?....the numbers just don't make sense..
"Lose "X" amount and it simply offsets your gains at the end of the year,no?"
assuming you have gains at the end of the year...and with that kind of thinking, you wont...you play to win...always...
