The new number, current up to September 30th is 82,300....that's an increase of 8,500 shares over the period up to September 15th when the number was 73,800

IMO there is no way retail players are shorting RVX, the potential rewards are miniscule compared to the risks, and the margin requirements for shorting a stock under $5 are too high.

I can see only one reason to short a stock trading at this level, and that is in an effort to shake the tree. To stall and depress the share price in hopes that nervous retail holders will either get scared or lose patience, and thus be willing to part with their shares at what I consider to be an extreme discount.
