Thank you Flatcat for taking the time to explain " short squeeze",

margin calls, etc. This is not the type of investing I want to do.

Now that I understand a little better it makes it even more

imperative that I not get involved in what feels like a rip off

in my heart, at others expense.

Thanks again, Flatcat. Appreciate your effort to help Grandmafl.

Flatcat, agree with you on the abuses of well-financed shorts driving small cap companies into the ground.

Also, and even more destructive, is naked shorting (but not sure where this stands regulation-wise).

But who shorts at 5% margin rates?
