It is obvious you don't understand the function of a MM - they provide liquidity to a non-liquid market.
Before chastising someone make sure you understand it.
My guess is that SPOM investors don't understand the difference between short volume and short interest.
Major material event SPOM is a classic OTCM share selling scheme.
Let me guess you believe that SPOM is being shorted and you are using OTCshortreport to validate it - you do understand that it is a pumping website.
Those sites use FINRA Daily Reg SHO data, it is meaningless on it's own.
The Trade cycle is Trade Date plus 2 days for settlement, Daily Reg SHO only shows the Initial leg of each transaction and doesn't reconcile based upon settlements made seconds later as the trade has yet another 2 days to settle.
MMs do not "short" penny stocks. As part of making a market, they may have periodic short positions throughout a trading day if they fill buy orders for more shares than they have in inventory, but they also often have inventory when they fill sell orders. Having an inventory does not mean that they are going "long" any more than having a temporary net short position is "shorting." This kind of temporary short position is legal and necessary for efficient trading.
On every OTCM scam someone that doesn't understand the mechanics of trading posts about MMs walking down...
You do understand that trading is automated - there aren't traders sitting at a table talking about how to screw over SPOM shareholders.
LOLOL! Post your proof that SPOM is being shorted - I am certain you don't understand how shorting works.
