Thank you for your reply Neverlearn, very measured. The reason why I (and anyone else) can't profitably short stock like 88e is the fact that stock borrow on these illiquid stocks is extremely difficult and even if you can get a short position it will never be large enough to really profit, couple this with funding charges and it makes it prohibitively costly (if not impossible) to short stocks like 88e. This applies even more so to institutional (as opposed to us, as retail) as they can't get large enough positions away.
