RE:Short the shorters From the research I have done, this is not how it works. From what I understand, the brokerage companies can do whatever they want with your shares, regardless of what you do, and this is likely what allows us to trade for so little and keep them in business, much like how a bank lends "your money" from your savings account out to whomever in order to gain a difference and profit more. In the end, every shorted share must be bought back, so I personally prefer to look at the bright side and find ways to advantage from the share price drops and jumps seemingly caused by shorters.... Cheers!
