It is not shorting - 90% of the public shares in this and almost every other OTC company are in the hands of traders with many millions of shares, mostly purchased at a heavy discount. IT is TRADERS that manipulate the price, because either they WANT MORE, or WANT TO TAKE PROFIT.
They pay the bashers and pumpers alike. They move lots of shares, and we see the RESULT of those trades. Only inexperienced traders blame MM's and shorters - all MM's do is execute trades that buyers/sellers want. They get their cut no matter WHAT the stock price does, so they don't care what the price does - they just want traders to be active.
Shorts? Try it. I have challenged many times for anyone to short a penny stock and prove it. Most brokerages don't even permit it. So no public shorting. MM's short, of course - that's how they execute trades quickly. But those are covered almost immediately.
Look to the whales for stock price changes - you are only seeing their wake, and making the wrong guess about what caused the wake, since the whale if long gone.
Remember, whales may sell out of a stock to join another if they see it as a better opportunity. There doesn't have to be logic to ihubbers, they trade as they see fit, and dumping is normal when they change to another stock.
