RE:Short sellers have ganged up on this stock This is not a short sellers gang bang here - it simply has had very large outflows of money both in the stock and in the sector.
go look at an Accumulation/Distribution chart. It started a number of years ago and then flattened, but really accelerated in calendar Q4. Go back and look at the few large block trades- there was a large money outflow of the stock and the price responded as expected - Down.
I think a lot of the reasons for the institutional departures were based around issues raised by ratsnake - so we can bug him about his boobs , but the person has some really interesting insights imo. And that's a good thing.
