RE:We need more upward pressure to finish off shortsWhen the Market Makers - who are the primary short sellers - decide to bring the price of the shares up - as they did on Friday 30 minutes before the close then the rest of the short sellers will be chased out of the stock. They will be forced to purchase their shares back. Usually the MM's know of a takeover or an upcoming news event to they know in advance when to cover their house positions. The stock market being a man-made construct is a rigged game. If you have knowledge of what the MM's are doing then you can always make monies on any stock. The MM's have kept Aphria down for a long period of time while the are accumulating the shares. It looks like they are about to bring the share price up! GLTA
