RE:re: optionsRidethewinners,
Rocco Marinaccio sold the shares resulting from the exercise of those options; that's a fact. .
Rocco Marinaccio sold when he could have held on to some or all of the resulting shares in question. That's a fact.
You suggested "One of the things GRA has done well is to attract analyst coverage, and that would allow traders to find buyers more easily."
That's nice.
Once of the things which Rocco Marinaccio having sold all those exercised options derived NanoXplore shares told all those equities analysts, is that an insider of the company simply doesn't expect the share price to leave this seemingly godforsaken $2.00 NanoXplore share price handle behind either before nor following the release of Q2/2024 financials.
You said "Pretty much all of our shares are available to be lent for short sellers, and that is just fine with me. It keeps brokerage fees low, as the friction cost is revenue for them."
That's nice.
Given your clear appreciation for broker dealers lending out my own shares against my own investment position, I expect you are well prepared to sell short NanoXplore shares (like clockwork) leading up to and especially following the public dissemination of the Q2/2024 financials and that conference call.
Don't you worry ridethewinners. Whenever any NanoXplore quarterly financials release approaches, the GRA.T short selling community smells blood and lots of ROI to be had.
I suspect it doesn't matter to the NanoXplore short selling community professionals that the company "delivers on the business expectations", what those who would be selling short NanoXplore shares expect and what Rocco Marinaccio likely knew before he sold all those options exercised derived NanoXplore shares is that the company likely woulld not have been adjusted EBITDA profitable during Q2/2024, this due to a great deal more of various increasing "expenditures".
If you, ridethewinners, are not already positioned as selling short NanoXplore shares, you are passing up on the opportunity.
The company can only purchase so many shares per day by way of the NCIB. The GRA.T short selling community professionals know this fact and would utilize it to their advantage everyday and in every way following the release of the Q2/2024 financials.
In my opinion, you can forget your "a short squeeze can be really fun if you are positioned long" angle ridethewinners.
After all, it's quite obvious that nobody over at NanoXplore actually wants the share price to rid itself of this seemingly godforsaken $2.00 share price handle.
I expect NanoXplore's share price is headed straight back down to $1.87.
Finally, I'll reiterate for you that I don't believe in "luck".
