Author’s reply » Dear Luc,

I bet you have seen the last super news on Sphere 3D coming out this morning: https://yhoo.it/1E62Qqx (Sphere3D and Microsoft to Deliver Glassware 2.0 Windows Application Containers on Microsoft Azure)

This last development is extremely significant in that it proves that Microsoft indeed has completely prepared to “dual up” with Google on getting Sphere 3D. It implies that the odds of a bidding war on Sphere3d between Google/Microsoft, VMware, etc. have increased dramatically. By now not only these three (plus Dell who has the top partner with Google on Chromebook) big techs are extremely familiar with the greatness of Sphere 3D’s technologies/products, but I bet many other big names (Apple, IBM, Intel, HP, Citrix, Salesforce, etc.) have paid a lot of attention on what is happening in this company over the past 3, 4 months. We have seen in the past that none these big techs are gun-shy on quickly offering to buy out a “seemingly promising” hot young competitor merely just for the fear that the company’s rare and unique technologies/products will fall into the hand of a major competitor (of course these big whale’s M&A team will justify any acquisition with projected huge future sales, synergies, cost savings, other intangible benefits, etc.). The odds is pretty high that somebody will pull the buy trigger on Sphere 3D on the fairly short horizon, and when that happens it is almost guaranteed that a bidding war will occur (the sheer fact that Company A’s competitor has offer to buy a target it has been monitoring will serve as an additional, irrefutable proof to its M&A, technology, finance, and executive groups that the target is indeed extremely valuable. Judging on the history of these companies’ multi-billion acquisitions of young could-related companies over the past decade (including many that were still in heavy loss when being acquired), the final deal price for Sphere 3D can easily be in $billions, or more than $30 a share.

Now, also remember this: when a bidding war does happen there is almost no way on earth to stop the shares from staying under $30, and there is no way on earth for shorts to avoid covering at any cost because at such event their brokers (including those who have been helping some shorts to remain “fail to deliver”, a total violation of security law, for a long long time) will be demanded by the matching buyers of these shorted stock to deliver the real stock certificates for tender of shares in acquisition. At that time the shorts or their brokers will have no choice but to buy millions of shares on open market at any cost to satisfy their obligation or face huge fines, suspension of license, law suits, and/or jail time.

Some of these shorts’ humongous mistake is basing their judgment of a “revolutionary technology” on outdated, fuzzy, circumstantial, prove-nothing technical views and logic. As I said, these “arbitrary denial of one’s superiority” (i.e. sour grape thinking) and “habit of evilly hopping on the failure of a new technology that can greatly improve people’s lives and make the world better”, basing on their myopic technical knowledge/view is not way to success in investing (or in these shorts’ case “playing”) in technology stocks, letting along a way for basic humanity and god’s sake. Now, I am pretty sure that a lot of these shorts will keep on ignoring my and many others’ warnings. In fact, the smartest shorts (including those leading shorts that called others to follow their leads starting a year ago) likely have covered lately, maybe without notifying their “fellows”. Only the ignorant and/or inexperienced ones remain. Well, not my business. They can short (and even short nakedly) all they want. When the first position of Sphere 3D by any big tech company or big financial institution (e.g. Morgan Stanley) is revealed, let’s see if they and their partner brokers can help not to scream. May god have mercy on those shorts’ soon broken hearts and souls. Amen!
