I was hoping the shorts were related to opportunists involved in the financing, but that does appear to be the case. The smack down started 2 days before the KPIs were released, and we haven't been told what the Flow Rate KPI is yet, which has me concerned, but not others. Guys who spend $11 million on shorts hopefully acted on a whim, but unlikely. Then again it wouldn't be the first time. Bottom line, we won't know the answers until we see them in the rear view mirror. Until then, I'm ok for now, as my entry price was dirt cheap. Probably add more if we go under $3 again.
The shutdown during the Obama years greatly impacted the market.
