You can't effectively short low/sub penny stock which make up 99% of the stocks here. If it was possible you would see high short interests in all the blatant penny scams, but there never is due to the reason I stated. So no, personally I never take any position in stocks I criticize.
All the shorters/evil naked shorts blah, blah on low/sub penny stock message boards is nothing but lying promoters, ill informed noobs and sometimes long term tin foil hat bat crap crazy pennny stock losers.

Have you tried to see if you can short a penny stock under $1.00?

You can't through any of the major brokers and even if you could you would need $2.50 PER SHARE shorted as a margin requirement.

You think it's worth it?

This is the most commonly used theory as to why someone would raise questions about the operations of a company that seem "questionable"

Not sure why it is so hard to comprehend that people can see through the BS of promoters and shady CEO's who are simply trying to line their pockets with shareholder money so they don't actually have to work for a living.

Here's a list of emails I received in regards to being able to short penny stocks from some of the major brokerages and trading houses.

Nobody here is shorting a stock just to "get cheapies" as many of the so called "informed" traders blab about:

So you can essentially take that silly rumor and put it to rest once and for all

I've traded for quite some time and know that penny stock's can infact be shorted.

Do you know this from actual experience?

If not, you're promoting the myth.

And no, neither myself or anyone I've corresponded with on these boards has ever told me they short pinks.

EDIT......Nevermind. I see now where this was really heading. ) :
