Lol ok. I'm used to the nss bit I guess. If you are talking about just shorting- that's possible, but the costs and risks are so prohibitive, I can only imagine a complete idiot taking the chance
For instance- the max potential gain for a short position is 99.99%, whereas the max potential loss is infinite.
Also, there is a $2.50 per share deposit while the short position is maintained. Kind of hard to justify that much capital tied up for otc stocks.
I am assuming you are referring to otc stocks since I have not seen anyone deny shorting on big boards.
