Shorts need to cover

but no one willing to give up their shares. Could see a squeeze soon IMO. CXRX short interest data for Feb 12 published Wed after close. Will be interesting to see where it is going. Real-time data would be better but only available to the big boys.

With the low volume (and that likely much of that just recycled shares), I can't see the shorts able to cover without a fair appreciation in SP. Starts tomorrow with the NY Investors Conference where CXR will likely re-affirm 2016 guidance and leading up to reporting day. Likely in between they will squeeze in a debt payment date and potentially a small product acquisition and/or release of on

Easy to blame shorts for the stock price going down. But they are not short for no reason. They are short because they expect the stock price to go down, and they are betting a lot of money it does. You have to ask yourself what do they know that you do not!

They know nothing. Nothing more then anyone else. They have made a bet. They are betting that they can make money off of 'nervousness' for the next couple of weeks until the Q4 and year end are released. They hope and intend to cover before that news sends cxr back toward where it should be. And where it should be is far higher then this current disinfo based ridiculously low level
