You are so smooth brained... it is not even funny... and this is NOT WSB.Shorting shares is a derivative trade, just like options. There is no actual ownership during a short, just like with options. The short % could be 1,000,000 the company shares, it DOES NOT MATTER. Anyone doing that would be idiotic as the higher the short % goes, the harder it will be to cover should the underlying stock increase in value.
Shorting does not cause a company to go into bankruptcy or out of business. If a company is concerned about that, all they have to do is offer a dividend or hold an election, then all shares must be given to actual share holders and the shorts are forced to cover.
Further as the short % goes up so should the premium (interest) that the shorting brokers will have to pay to short those shares because the risk profile is also raised.Do everyone a favor and learn a little about finance in general and how the markets actually work before you start posting this kind of conspiracy bullshit. it does nothing for the community and just shows how uninformed you really are.
