OH yes My search included Canada.
There was one brokereage house in vancouver that got shut down a decade ago that rumoured to short pennies. As I am in Canada half the year and know many folks on Bay street and Howe street to a lesser extent, rumours of the wild west and the overall image on Canada as apenny stock scam haven is so far from the truth, matter of fact our exchanges and companies listed in canada are subject to much more scrutiny than the US exchanges.
germany or Offshore?? NO I have not explored that. Any conversation I had with folks in Costa Rica left me felling dirty. As a result I actually do not trade near as much as I used to. I want to short pennies and I cannot so I am doing other things with my money.
I have done ok on a few distressed high end florida properties already out for a 20% profit and a place to live and play golf for a year. I invest in start ups. However if I am sitting at a desk or on my IPAD somehwere and have the day free and I see trading opp I may very well play it and at that point DD and whether of not its a scam or not is irrelevant.
However, private investments I will nothave anything to do with anyone I feel is sleazy. IF IN DOUBT STAY OUT
