RE:Shorts
These are washtrading shorts mainly. Very simple - buddy A borrows 1 million shares and sells these shares to buddy B when there is a shortage of buyers. When it looks like a sell-off at lowered prices buddy B may pick up additional 200k shares at the same lowered prices. These short shares are not real because buddy A can always cover from buddy B. I think it is somewhat of a complicated game but in reality these people are very long and all they are trying to do is collect as many shares at the lowest prices possible. They have been doing it for a very long time and I can assume they will make lots of money from ATH because they were buying lots of ATH shares back at 11 cents.
