1. While I know most companies are frauds/going to fail, I don’t short indiscriminately because the main purpose of frauds/inevitable failures is to pump up their stock with aggressive and misleading news/PRs aka I don’t want to get squeezed!
2. Of course I get frustrated with the lack of freely available shares to short, but that’s PennyStocking’s gift and its curse. Welcome to the gutter!
3. Of course you can short under $5/share, brokers that say they cant just suck…I use and recommend Thinkorswim & Speedtrader
4. I don’t like shorting illiquid stocks, but sometimes stuff like OCCXD is just too easy.
5. It’s better to hold these frauds/inevitable failures long long time during bear markets, but I just don’t have the patience. I’m still up 177% in the last year so I think you gotta do whatever works best for ya!
