Or you have a way to get the trading suspended. Then you don't have to cover it. Wow, what a genius plan. But we can't discuss it because then we would be colluding to influence the price of a stock, lol.
Pretty tough to make more money than shorting a stock from .44 all the way down to .0001.
Actually it's a lot easier to make money on the long side in pennies. Shorts can only realize 100% profit, unless they cover and short again. And it's always extremely risky. Pennies can run hard for no reason, and generally speaking, the scammier they are, the harder they'll run.
