RE: Shorts decrease again

[morricone]

I think you're taking  a very narrow viewpoint that shorts are an attack on the stock. It may very well be that the short positions were simply an insurance policy. You hold a large block of RGX and you don't want to sell, but you're nervous that in the short term the stock might sell off leaving you with heavy losses. You take a short position simply to protect yourself.

It could also be that you are in the process of selling your shares but this may take a while so you take out a  short position to protect yourself at the current price and you close it out as you sell your shares.

Personally I don't consider short positions important at all to any stock unless they are a significantly large size in relation to the float. I think too many people get wound up over the short issue and wander off into la la land dreaming of conspiracies to keep a  stock price down, the old "manipulation" nonsense.
