Could Montgomery have a vested interest in talking the stock down? Is there manipulation by those with short interest? 3 million shares times 50 dollars is a lot of money. Does anyone know how much the average short is losing? I know that some were already shorting heavily when AGPH was $50 or less. Is their loss as much as $50/share or more? I've noticed that when enough money gets involved all sorts of interesting things can happen. In San Diego, even Judges have been paid a little extra for their special services. Is it too far fetched to think that reporters might not like some extra dough too? I'm not saying or even suggesting that this is going on here, but it has happened in the past, and I'm sure it will happen in the future. The ground just is never as solid as it seems, and in my experience the playing field is almost never even. I'd like to know what is so and what is not, but I think the truth is only rarely revealed.
