first off, it's taxi, not kid. i don't know who you deal with, but the brokers of the 100+ odd people i know who trade/online invest and deal with for the most part, WILL NOT ALLOW short selling stocks less than $5. I have found some unscrupulous brokers that will allow $4 stocks as "marginable, thus "shortable". short interest is also unreliable in thinly traded companies, as they are little followed. so i guess i am talking about non-marginable stocks.. if ya can't hold it in yer account and margin against it, ya can't short it. YES Market Makers can short stocks. i don't wish to bet against a market maker when the stock is not marginable. As the "specialist" who provides liquidity,i would not wanna buy what he is dumping.especially a penny stock. that's about it.

read this post <<forgive me for not reading your entire thread.... but you have listed 90% of your "picks" (the exception RNWK). these stocks are "unshortable" thus the squeeze cannot happen. it is ok for you to wish to "squeeze" someone out of their money, but to do so, one must invest in stocks that can be shorted. regards taxi >>>>> this post was to cavalry, not YOU your reply was the one i linked this post to... you initiated this, and were wrong.
