Here is the link where I have been getting most of my short info from. Keep in mind it is U.S. and that I,m not sure if the same applies in Canadian held accounts. I have been searching to see if its the same in Canada, but so far cannot find that evidence. I will put this link in our link library for future reference.

Its very easy to short our stock because it can be done with little shares on low volume. But, the way I think, that if us longs have shares in our accounts that can be borrowed, why give the shorts those shares to use against us. For every less share they can get their hands on, the better the chance for our sp to rise and interest other new investors.

For ex; 20,000 shares sold by a shorter in one day can knock our price down by .10. I have seen it happen, the price drop, but not sure if it was a shorter or not. It gets people excited, then they sell it a little further, helping out a short and not knowing it. This in turn allows him to receive a profit that he can use to borrow more shares to sell us down further. What I am trying to say, is that as little as 20k shares sold short can have a big effect on our stock. This may be one of the reasons we dont see more buyers, until that short control is done away with, we may not see new buyers and we will sit here watching our sp dwindle.

I would have walked away from this stock long ago when I saw this short control if it was just a stock. But this stock is tightly held and has the potential to be a life changer. Its because of these 2 features why I have stayed invested in SLI and stopped daytrading. This sp right now IMO should not be this low and anything I can find that may help it get back up there, I will post.
