This stock should be up todayconsidering the news that came out and the opening price, the stock should have done well today. someone is selling a lot of shares but not sure why. IMO the deal will get done at the contract price but I am confused about the price action. I guess the optimistic view is that someone who had a lot of shares is too nervous or can offset the losses with gains in other areas and wants to dump a lot of stock. on the negative side there are a ton of shorts and maybe someone has actual inside knowledge (not surprising on the TSX as the OSC seems very lenient on insider trading) compared to the person quoted in todays news stating the deal will be done in the next couple of months. Seems like a good buying opportunity to me but a little fearful about the price action and the amount of shorts. In my mind shorts and options are usually the smart money. glta
