stockie101, there is legal shorting a legal trade and there is Naked shorting. Please learn the difference. I don't know where you live but the average trader can NOT short pennies at will
in the USA. Short sale- is just betting against the company as in VERY high risk. It would be a very good ideal for you to take some lessons in stock trading and the stock market before you try to debate the people on this board. That way you may not make a total fool out of yourself' as you are now. I'm surprised anyone is even responding to you because of your ignorance of the market.

If "its basically legal," then my suggestion is that you stay out of the market until it is changed more to your liking. Obviously, you cannot cope with it as it is presently constituted.

If i read you right, you feel it is so rigged that the odds for the "little guy" are almost zero. So, why would you play a rigged game? I'm sure you would not enter a poker game, or craps game that you knew was rigged against you before hand.

One other question, if the game is so rigged, how is it that 10s of thousands of other companies, and their investors, seem to survive and thrive? This seems to be a "problem' that only effects companies with no income, corrupt/incompetent management, rampant dilution, toxic financing and a secretive demeanor. Huh? Imagine that. Hard to figure.
