Tim – Looks like Pennystocking just got scalable, at least for the moment. The mother of all short squeezes happened in Volkswagen today. It has ADRs (representing 1/5 of an ordinary share) trading as VLKAY. There are 60k shares available at IB, last I checked (even more of the underlying stock trading in Germany). The stock was up over 100% today. I just shorted a bit and will see what happens.

For info:

This is just a small position; I’ll add to it if there is another huge spike.
