The first thing you must understand the mechanics of shorting - know the difference between short volume and short interest. Research the $2.50 rule and the trade cycle. Plus, understand that you need to have a margin account not a cash account.
No one is shorting a sub-penny stock.
Call your broker and ask to borrow 1 million shares of NPHC so you can short them - after he stops laughing he will ask if you have a margin account with $2.5 million in it.
