Thanks CJ for forwarding the short volume link. Wow!! Almost 35% of the yesterday's volume is made up of short volume according to this site. That's a huge short volume!!
There's no shorting in OTC. The $2.50/share collateral discourages that plus hardly any brokers will loan out shares.
There might be overseas shorts but probably not enough to move the stock significantly.
The Finra short report is not retail shorting. It's incomplete transactions between market makers who haven't settled, most often these parties cover within 2-3 days.
The rise and fall of stocks down here always, always, always hinges on a few insiders, they alone determine when the pump phase ends.
Here is the ICNB daily short volume for 1 month. Now this is only accurate on stocks that are not being diluted like ICNB. I am sure some will want verification this is real so I will also post the SEC FINRA site below the OTC site. The FINRA site has the exact same daily short numbers daily but you have to read through many exchanges and then through all the stocks to get the data. The first link is fast. http://otcshortreport.com/?index=ICNB&action=view .
