extra - retail traders simply can not short penny stocks. Having said that, market makers do have the capablity to short penny stocks. However, they have a defined number of days to cover their short, and if they fail to do so they will be fined. Looking at shortsqueeze.com, the small number of SWVC shares currently being shorted are 125,700.
