thanks Onlygame.  Short as at Nov15 of 1,736,437 appear amazing to  me. This is the largest shorts balance I can remeber in past year.  Six months ago balance was 170,275 Q3 has met analyts target for EPITDA and should not (IMO) create massive short selling and in addition the financing raised was not based upon company need for cash and in any event cash was increased to over ...more

The dramatically higher short position isn't likely to matter much because most of those shorts will be part of a hedge underlying ownership of QTRH convertible debentures. If an Apple win were announced and the stock went shooting up then, yes, the short positions would be clobbered but the debentures (also held by the hedgers) would go up to more or less offset the short position losses. So ...more

Perhaps Anna Tosto has been adding to her short position?
Comment by mrmoribund on Nov 21, 2021 11:46am
What an utterly tactless comment. There could be any of a thousand reasons why Anna Tosto, even if she were balance sheet rich, might not have spare cash enough to put into QTRH shares. Maybe she's supporting kids in college or elderly parents. Maybe she's had other investments that have gone south--it happens to all of us. Maybe she's just committed to some other (cash-hungry ...more  
Comment by Scott64 on Nov 22, 2021 6:16am
Lol. Perhaps tactless mrmoribund but after 6 months on the board she could at least roll her board pay into the stock if she cared about her role in showing confidence in the stock and believed it was a great opportunity. She accepted the role and should know the ownership requirement. I'll give her a bit of slack but if she is still at zero ownership at the end of one year on the board it ...more

Have to admit. Zero excuses here. If you take the position and there is an ownership requirement you fulfill it. And if you dont, the company enforces it or you go.  Pretty simple. This is exactly why i think the board is an anchor. Seems the market agrees. Fix it already!

Hair on fire Wilander?
Comment by wilander on Nov 22, 2021 9:55am
Nah. My beef with our crapppy BOD is long standing. Nothing new. Just hadnt realized there was a certain share allotment to be bought that hasnt been met as well. Stinks. No other way to put it. C'mon Apple!  Lets put things to rest asap and get this SP rocking!!!!!
Comment by cabbieJBJ on Nov 22, 2021 11:25am
Wilander, possibly more than any Apple money, I'm hoping for a timely resolution so you can move on.  It's abolutely astonishing, based on your post, that you have never read a QTRH/Wilan AGM circular where it lays out share ownership by the BoD.  Stop whining...please!
Comment by wilander on Nov 22, 2021 3:05pm
Not whining cabbie. Just responding to a post. Chill. Its like your hair is on fire. :P And no, I did not know there was a minimum requirement. Now I do. And yes, I'd love the Apple win to happen already so I can cash out of 75% of my holdings here. Wont leave more than that afterwards. I know you are used to me only being positive all these many, many years and must find it frustrating ...more
