There ARE NO SHORTS in trip zero stocks. Just ask your broker if you can short 1000 shares of any trip zero stock. The answer will be no. It is not done, it is a total myth. No one in their right mind would put up a $2.50 reserve per share on a trip zero stock hoping it would drop one tick. Holy crap, folks, THINK!! And if you don't believe me, talk to your brokerage.
