"AlanC", apparently you do not understand the basic mechanisms of shorting, nor did you even read (or understand) my post.
1) Shorters only make money if they cover their short positions at a lower cost than what they shorted shares at.
2) There currently are no short positions on CDIV.
Here are some logical implications of these facts:
- CDIV is illiquid. It doesn't do a shorter any good if he can't cover his short.
- CDIV is now sub-penny. A shorter at $.60, for example, would not have financial incentive to continue to hold their shares.
That is why it is completely illogical to pretend that unrecorded, invisible shorters exist for CDIV, or any sub-penny, illiquid stock.
Do you understand the meaning and implications of these facts?
