Munch, SRSL & HRVY are listed stocks. I can only see MM data on OTC-BB stocks on my Real Time Quotes server. So I don't know if they have any MM's in common. Cheryl

Good post. You raise some very interesting and appropriate questions about shorting. Others are asking why anyone would short this stock, and I would have to agree that now or even over the last few months it would not be a good idea. However,..... FAMH just went public in 1997, and didn't it sell for over $1.00, then decline to less than $.20? Isn't it more likely that shorting took place back then? If there still is a short position and the price escalates on audited financials, hhhmmmmmm...... Your second point about the number of shares outstanding. Of course I didn't want to see the number of shares double in just a few months. On the other hand, it did double and the price has stayed at the high .20's and low .30s.
