RE:RE:Short ratio on CXRXI agree. The thing about shorts that a lot of people don't understand is these isn't "one gang".
In some cases, it's a collection of people with big holdings. In other cases, it's other bonafide US hedge fund managers that carefully look at what others are doing.
It's like a bunch of birds flying in formation. So when the flock of birds turn, they all turn at the same time.
What will "flick" these birds? A BIG shotgun like INSIDER BUYING! BOOM!!!!
If I was Thompson (or any of the directors) right now, I would fire that big shotgun given all the attacks and ridicule he's received, rightly so I might add!
Now what happens if Thompson the CEO doesn't fire the shot?
Well, some previous posters have mentioned they felt he was shorting his own stock.
That would be the only valid reason Isee for him not buying shares at the lows now that we don't have a blackout period. $10K for him, that's less than what he spends for dinner with buddies I'm sure!
