Shortdata

Some brave enough took positions according to latest reports. Not the end of the world though.

I know I know.....It amazes me how a person can short a stock at such a low price knowing fully well that it seems to be holding within a range and that people are getting in not out. Yes there has been some selling but it's more of a income tax tax loss selling situation. I suspect that once it breaks out of this base fornation area or 8.5 to 10 cent area those shorts will long be filled. If ...more

Good evening old dog. We should keep in mind also that short selling is commonly used by whoever to control the price . The" Boyz" short sell often to further their nefarious purposes and they have no problem with naked short selling if it furthers their agenda. In my view short selling is poorly regulated if at all , especially on the Vulture exchange.

Yes they do, but I don't know if I'd go naked here...that dosesn't sound right!!!! That being said and moving on....folks are hoping that the tax loss selling will continue and drag the stock lower, the way I see it they shorted at the basement level. Bad call and if the desired News everyone is looking for comes soon someone is going to take a bath. One of the largest investment ...more

Amen old_dog! Traders would be absolutely crazy to go short at this stage, but then again they have their own agenda.

Good morning Yajne. When you think about it , why would anyone go short with 0.08 cents of possible profit as opposed to the possible upside of , pick a number, $1.00? $3.00? $5.00 when going long. ?  So in my opinion the shorts have got to have another reason to short other then the profit motive , and that reason is to manipulate price .

Sunvalley I agree with your thinking that since shorting $0.08 stock where company is just starting to create sals doesn't make any sence other than to control and push price lower to accumulate position

........or to impede their progress going forward to the  benefit of a competitor who might be paying them for this highly illegal activity.

It's a stock that is trading in the 8 cent range, not a multi national with global hooks round the world. Just some smuck trying to keep the price lower so that he can get as much as he can under the 10 cent mark....get what you can under 10 cents...and if it gets to 95 cents in quick order you have your 10 bagger.....chances are they also get out before the next short report as well. Just ...more
