RE:The need to cover. "As of Feb 2nd. There were still approx. 2.8 million short shares that needed to cover."
You have no idea whether such shorts are pure naked speculation or hedges placed by Mettrum shareholders that will automatically cover after conversion, without the need to cover in the open market.
And to think that every 20c intraday dip that occurs within 20-min spans are purely due to shorters is quite asinine. I mean there are big investors out there who have held shares in one form or another in the $1 or $2 range and could easily just sell at market to liquidate and do not care about fighting for pennies on the ask side when their profit is already in the dollars per share. Or when funds decide to exit out of a position, they just execute on their decision without sometimes scalping for pennies.
I do quite enjoy some of your entertainment provided by your posts, but I do recommend you need to sometimes conduct more critical thought process on your due diligence before spouting out some of your wild theories on the bullboards. Some of your Aphria comments on that board clearly reveal lack of proper DD on that company where if you were properly informed you would not be making some of your absurd claims, specifically not realizing they have a $90M cash hoard and that their current phase 2/3 expansions are already either fully/mostly funded and thus phase 4 does not require additional $130m+ or whatever was stated.
This is not meant to be critical feedback but friendly advice as to how you can improve on your abilities as an investor. Your posts are generally good for the boards as it encourages activity and better than a silent dead board.
