RE:RE:RE:Why the last BIG short attack...Thank you CNInvesting. Don't you think the big institutions are perhaps waiting for the stock to bottom out after the attack before reinvesting? There is definitely a potential big bounce to be had with this battered down stock. We might start to see them pile on as soon as we start to see a positive direction again. The shorts would then start to cover to minimise their losses.
After being almost 40% up on this stock to 40% down, I have researched quite a bit how to protect myself better in the future. Are you referring to using PUT options to protect further losses or is there more to it than that?
So much
should have could have would have with this stock. I was just too greedy this time and should have cashed out at $45!

Some insitutions with deep pockets are toying with this company's stock. Peter Hodson is probably half-right at best because he doesn't know who is shorting so much and also what % of it comes from a single entity vs a bunch of them. Sure, some of trades were coming from scared retail investors, but remember that a high % of it is owned by institutional investors also and it will be a long time before we know who sold. Could be too late by then. You seem decent Tommy, I wish you'd have hedged your position. It's not too late.

I am still in this and I am currently almost 40% down - I don't have any free cash to average down further now and I have to say, my confidence has been rocked too like many others as I never expected it to go this low.
Peter Hodson put it perfectly: "
Fear is a big driver in the market" and "
selling because it is down is not a good reason".

Long and strong - good luck to all!
