Regarding silence

Personally I hate it as investor, but as I continued thinking, it's a good instrument to fight shorts.
Why?
There are a small amount of long holders, most of longs are corporate investors like RBC, Nomura, Point72/Cohen, and list goes on.
These guys receive information directly from company and they don't need to call like Marky (sorry, Marky, it's useless what you do)

Then we have different breed, shorting guys - common folks; it's almost opposite of regular stock, where you have common folks on long side...

Now I'm coming to main point:  Silence makes shorts afraid, because it was so much clear when stock was 15, 10 even 5 USD, and Concordia was reporting bad staff or they had certain expectations that company was failing to meet, but now there are no expectations, means no guidelines whether company is doing bad or good.
Of course, company was doing bad, but it's possible that company met the bottom and now is in reverse gears.

Now the only game left to shorts - bankruptcy, and it's a good tool, but when stock fell to $1.6 US, it couldn't of gone down extra $1, which represents bankruptcy level and it didn't...

Latest article by Orange peel is worthless, is repeat of last week article, the only thing, this guy tells the truth now that he is short; before he was saying that he doesn't have positions, but in comments he stup*dly admitted that he is short.
Orange maybe a deadpole, or any other shorts on the forum; anybody can write-it up on alpha, you don't need any credentials or priviligies...

Silence is actually a weapon, sometime silcence changes countries to worse or better.... Smart move on company side...

Greatplay, I like how you're thinking, but unfortnuately, silence is also not bring the price back up to where we think it should be.

Silence is not making shorts scared - if they were there would be short covering instead of looking around for borrow. The short interest has increased for the last 10 months and many I'm sure were short from $60Cad.  They have had this thing nailed since early 2016 if not earlier. The put activity is suspiciously high this past few days and usually the options on CXRX are thinly traded. ...more

It's true shorts drove from $60 to the current level, but most of shorts who drove to the level are gone. It was big shorts, means with big purse, imagine shorting at $100 US for 10mln shares, or same 10-11 mln at $2? Now we have kindergarden shorts. It does make shorts scared, so they start attacking me personally, it only means, they don't know, what will happen next, because we have ...more
