RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Worst Board EverRetail investors don't short. They just buy and sell. Most retail investors don't even understand how to short a stock. They can't comprehend how shorting works. If they're sophisticated enough, they certainly wouldn't short a penny stock. Besides, the big 5 banks I'm Canada don't allow it. What you are seeing is unrestrained selling by longs, who are getting out while they can, licking their wounds, and.moving on, relegating this one to the history books. Lesson learned. If you're going to invest your hard-earned after-tax dollars, learn how to read financial statements first
