heenalu--I can't say how Michail feels about it but I can sure say how I do. I would rather kick a tiger in the butt. At least I have a health care plan with only a $5 deductible.
I shorted KTEL the first day it ran up. Next day early I was bailing with hideous losses. Took a long time and a lot of safer, saner trades to make that one up. I will omit some other experiences with small float stocks but they are generally all bad.
I won't short anything with less than 10 million float and if it is a high profile short with a lot of shorts interested I want even more. The small floats are very volatile, squeezes are common, and often you cover thinking I will just jump in higher and then you can't get shares. If the stock attracts day traders and momentum players the runs can be horrific.
All the Best
