You can short them but you have to put up 2.50/per share, then also there may not even be a borrow and then there is the possibility of a buy in as well. Obviously with such high capital requirements shorting any stock under ~.50 is not worth it and a waste of time and money. I have never shorted a stock under ~1.50. I said personally because I figure some folks do buy these scams on occasion, but I do not.
If you can find me a paid basher job I am all for it the extra income would be nice LOL Sadly there are no such jobs, these OTC scams die on their own consistently It would be a waste of money to pay somebody to bash them as the companies self destruct.
