Yes, MM's do short penny stocks, I never said they don't. But it's not naked shorting. MM's MUST either have the shares, or know they will have them by close of day every day. Any short that is not closed the same day goes into the short report and is reported twice monthly. It is MM's on that list, not us.
Note that, if you put your HPIL shares up for sale at, say, $1, you may think you have 'locked' them. Nothing could be further from the truth. All MM's have to do is borrow them (short them) to get shares to fill an order, and then REPLACE them later the same day. You would never know. The only way to prevent mm's from using your shares is to not have them up for sale.
