Short-selling questions from an inexperienced trader

Posted by: LonePirate on Jun 27, 13:14

I'm rather new to this site so I am still learning the ropes but I had two questions about short-selling.

It's a bad idea to short a stock that will delist at 0, correct? There's no gain to be made from shorting it unless you cover the short before it cashes out at 0, right?

Similarly, gains can be had when a shorting a stock that I think will delist below its current price but above 0, correct? Basically, should I short a stock if it delists at a price below its current one so long as that price is at least 1 penny or better?
