What the Shorties don't want you to figure-out:(1) Most of that hung muck from Q3 will go through the mill in Q4.
(2) Gaps always get filled, and the most recent gap will likely fill prior to Q4 news.
(3) The "Big Boys" can't find enough ounces to keep producing the way they do; they will eventually come knocking with a chequebook.
(4) Pretium shorty position is so large that a boatload of them will want out at the same time when good news makes them squirm. That spells short squeeze and a much higher share price when they all scramble for the door at the same time.
