people expecting a short squeeze on this with 1 % shorts are out to lunch, period, imho. some of these shorts could even be some insiders merely protecting gains on some of their options, more of an ultra conservative strategy as opposed to someone doing high risk shorts.  also many  funds do long/short strategies, say go long ifp and short wef at the same time, some of these would probably cover but shouldn't affect the s/p movement much at all.

Exactly, well said! I think the earnings will be ok to good, not more... I don't see a pop in the share price on earnings... If I see +5% on earnings I will be very happy. That said I am bullish on WEF but I think it will take times and a couple of quarters then we should be a lot higher than now. WEF is my biggest holding.


I personally don't see it exploding... the 5 year chart shows thats not really ever in the cards.. short squeze not a chance.. they may cover with but there is not enough of them to make a material difference.. I'd be happy if they reinstate the divvy and it creeps up to two bucks in the next 6 months.. hopefully that is realistic..
