RE:RE:RE:Short Positions 2,488,827@ Pieper. Here's the publicly available information. A majority of option traders value this stock above $17 by April. Shorts just lost $7M in 2 weeks and need to slow things down. They're incurring carrying costs on $37M of shorted stock and they can't just wait it out like regular stockholders.
Of course, that's not a pretty situation to be in so their best move is to sell heavily in order to confuse the market and then give them a healthy supply of sellers so they can cover over time. Your best move as a stockholder is to buy from them now and sell back to them in the following months.
The short thesis is completely broken so they can only attempt to trade based on emotions. Avigilon's largest competitors from Asia are now licensing its patents, profitable growth continues, the company will reach its $500M target ahead of schedule and most likely list in the US stock market. Q1 will include sales of their newly launched H4 cameras and some licensing revenue so a third consecutive strong ER is likely in 2 months.
