Paaaanic, yeees paaanic small people. I just bought more. Thx. Sure its not much only about 5000 stocks, im not the London Whale, but its 5000 free ones, thats beauty enough for me.
Yes trading firms can always borrow stocks and then short the stock. At a significant risk of course in my opinion. Probably a player or two could go tits up when SP takes off into the sky.
It was about 15 % initial drop but recovered fully about 10 days later. Dudes here seem quite anxious. Dont worry and buy more stock instead. Be happy about the low prices and toast your champagne. Every day is an opportunity to buy shorted shares, while i feel a broker will go tits up due to failed shorting. Cheers.
