RE:I just put my shares for sale at 55 Dollarsi have been saying to do this for years and i get laughed at ..... they cant short shares that are up for sale , but banks and instutions do own shares themselves and lend them out short term for shorting ...also they get a fee for lending them out ........ watch gold as the next commodity too be targeted by reddit , it has been manipulted for years with paper by governments ....maybe copper will come after that ...............good luck guys and gals
