OK, according to the daily short interest 80k shares were bought short today at .07. I just don't get it. If it drops to .06 and they are bought back they make a whopping $800 less commission. If the goal was to make real money wouldn't one buy them short at say 8, 9, or 10 cents? Can't believe this sort of insignificant trading would be used to try and drive the price down, especially considering the average daily volume this stock has. Just looking for some insight or other thoughts.
