RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Short Squeeze in effectThis was a bought deal financing which the investment banks (most of were like tier 2 or 3) will place with retail investors or they will hold it in their own account, and hopefully will sell at a later date - this is why they write reports to suck in the retail investor. The instutional investor may read the reports, but NEVER make a decision based up it.
Ask the company, they can tell you if they any institutional investors. They are a different class of investors, and would do a lot of diligence before they ever make such an investmment (and risk their clients money). Pension funds, banks, etc. Never would they invest in a company at this stage.
Ask your IR person. The company will know how many institutions are involved.
