PYR Short sales report

Last week, when I posted my first PYR short sales report, HeatStroke replied (link here) “Consider: in the context of a volatile small cap stock, people who anticipate a drop could be willing to sell short in order to buy-back in later and acquire more shares to hold long-term overtime.”

Now consider: Since the beginning of march, the parasites have shorted PYR for 22.77% of the market’s volume. This represents more than one short share for every five shares that were sold on the market for a period that lasted six and a half months “Note that the data currently available on the IIROC website here does not go farther than the beginning of march”. This is not a “context of a volatile small cap stock”, this is a direct and sustained vicious attack against PYR stock and it’s shareholders.

Note that since the beginning of 2022 the shorters have increased their long term short position 12 times out of 17 periods “71% of the time”.

I believe shorting should be illegal. Having said that, it isn't. What reason has the company given those who do short it, not to based upon basic market principles? The current share price based upon the good ole price to earnings ratio is overpriced.  If you think think the company is going to go gangbusters as Peter states it is/was/will be, then the shirts will be toast and we all ...more
