RE:RE:SP “As a matter of fact, institutions often hammer stocks via short selling and back up their shorts with warrants they obtained in a previous financing. They often force the price of a stock down to finance the same companies they're shorting to get a better financing price, or to force a company into a financing arrangement.”

It goes beyond the understanding of the uninitiated investor but could be part of the reason of the continuous low stock price.
Instead of institutions it could have been done by former investors in ALP.
