Now, if a short-seller wants to "help" drive the price downward they can go onto chat forums about the stock and start posting really negative things proclaiming the stock will go down etc etc etc... those sort of post are done by people who can be considered HUMAN GARBAGE as they are really trying to scare investors into not buying or selling their current shares... bit of a DIRT BAG move but who cares right?  It's not the short-sellers concern if another investor (especially new investors) get sucked into garbage posts on a forum.


Here's the Basher's Handbook to help explain how it works

Anyhow, something to consider, just try and play straight-up on charts, typical stock moves and such, don't be a dirt-bag.

If I were to short a stock it would not be Hexo.  There are better opportunities out there like floating empty boats of Carnival Cruise Lines.  There are some positive fundamentals with Hexo and I do not see that in CCL.

Traders like to profit on the up and the down movement, all depends on your view of where it is going and when.  Newbie shorters tend to under-estimate the risk associated with the short play and end up chucking all their money over to brokers who were "so kind" as to lend the shares out... the brokers don't mind lending those shares when they think the share price will go up and they will get paid out by the shorters then still have the shares.
