Pennies can be, and often are, "shorted" >

Thank you for taking the time to address this matter with your post 'TLR1'

I've never shorted a stock in my life,so there is a lot that I'm unfamiliar with,
with regard to "shorting".

Your post is very helpful to me,
and I'm sure it has opened the eyes of others,
who have also wondered about "shorting stocks".

This is exactly the kind of post I like to see,
educational posts that help others to learn.

Pennies can and are often shorted and yes you need good pockets and the right tools to do it ! I find they are actually one of the easiest stock ever shorted, since pennies react SO well to emotions, and retail is SO easy to predict. Actually way too easy.

BBDA, INAR, PVGR all squeezed in the last few weeks and More coming every week. You can make a killing with those squeeze if you gather the right info and time your trade with precision. Shorts data have been readily available to retail through specialized site, (not FINRA since data are updated every 15 days only).

A lot of people still wrongly believe that pennies can not be shorted but do your homework and you will find all the rules that explain how it is all rightfully done.Its legit, it is done daily on millions of stocks, and it pays big time.

Wait a minute...

I checked the historical shorts data for BBDA and INAR. I could not for PVGR. I did not see a large enough short position at any time to do an actual squeeze.

What brokers allow penny shorts to retail clients without insane margin requirements?
