There are two ways to short a BB stock...one Illegal...
the other.....'unethical'!...

The unethical one:

One way to drive the price down is to 'construct posts
that will create 'Fear, Uncertanity & Panic''....
If enough people create enough negative posts they can drive
the 'Ask' down......and or prevent 'new investors from buying'!.

"Don't fall for it! Their nothing more than 'bullies in the school-yard!'"

The illegal one:

(MM's can't legally short under 5 bucks)
Lets say you go to the super market a buy 'apples'....
you pay for them....then bring them home...easy...
Then other people go to the same market and do the same thing...
Pretty soon they run out of apples....the store calls their
normal supplier of apples and finds out...they have none either..
The store then goes across town or out of state for their new
supply of apples....but the price goes way up!!....
The next time you by apples you might pay twice as much!
All because ...you and others brought your apples home with you.
When you buy a penny stock and don't take posession of your
shares.....guess what....they can (illegally) sell the same
shares to someone else!!!..
(cause you didn't bring your apples home).....How many times
have we been in a penny position, watching buying all day,
and the price barely moves....
Not all MM's do this....but enough do, to make our trading
that much more difficult......you might think you have a
'float covered' and yet the price stays the same...
Then you can have MM's trading amongst themselves just to
'inch' the price down.....ever see 5 or 10 buys....and the
price goes down?......another one of their tricks is to
delay a 'buy' to make it look like a sell!.....
You already have my position on stop loss trades.
They're just trying to induce a panic-selloff so they can pick
up some 'cheap shares'....if you fall for it 'you lose'....
then you try to buy back in....get caught in a runup....
and end up on the backside of another trade....(greed)....
Theirs and 'Ours'....
