I've been trading and occasionally investing in pinks/otcbb's for about 8 years now. At this point I go into every position with the assumption that there is a short. It's rare that there isn't.

I don't care if I upset people by posting about a potential short if I observe what looks like shorting going on in a stock. People who don't like to discuss all viable possibilities are the ones you see posting on the same boards for years after they lose all of their money as a result of their desire to ignorantly bias their view toward the positive. That is a stupid attitude to have in this arena where so much is working against the companies and the shareholders. Having said that, I have also learned not to post much anymore if I do see a short because most people don't want to read anything about potential problems. Most just want the happy view, so I simply do what is necessary to save my own ass and let them have their experience. I don't understand it, but it seems a lot of people don't learn things unless it's the hard way, and even then I'm amazed by how many don't learn and go off to repeat the same mistakes.

At this point I'm not convinced that there is shorting going on here. Right now it looks like just a couple sellers wanting to unload.

Sorry for the long, somewhat off topic post.
