No, in my opinion, he is not flipping from long to short. He is trading it - period. You can call it going long. When he has a position - he is a Mega Bull. When he has sold his position. He is a Mega Bear and is on a tear about anything Negative he can think about . Trying to talk the stock price down. He is not the only one that does that. There was another IHUB poster that was also invited to this board that was doing the same thing. He hasn't posted here in a very long time.

Here is my answer to RVL's question from the other board. As it pertains to this poster.

Why would anyone who is long in a stock stay here night and day, and post negative opinions ?
And, only post on this stock?

"He" is a trader that somewhat understands the value of the company - long term. But will do anything he can to make money in the short term from it. Even if it involves ranting non-stop - day in and day out - about anything negative that he perceives. In my opinion, some of his views, aren't even that off-track. He makes sense with some of them. Others are plain and simple nonsense. He puts it out there with the intention of influencing the mood on the board and possibly maybe have an effect on the share price.

An example of this can be seen if you look at his post history. A few weeks ago - his rants were VERY negative in regards to the company and the share price. He even said that he would gladly sell all his shares at $1.50 ( of course we were trading in the $1.20 - $1.30 range at the time ). He was even taking names from any buyers for his shares.

What happens a few days later?

Share price goes to $1.85. Then to $1.99 ( with the Vitaros USA rights news ) and it retraces to about the $1.70 area. Somebody says something about trading the shares. And he replies that he is afraid to be out of the stock before the RayVa news hits.

Really? He was willing to sell to anybody his position at $1.50 because the "company was out of money" a couple of weeks earlier. But would not sell his position at $1.70ish a couple of weeks later - even after Apricus bought back the USA rights for Vitaros and had $1 M less in the bank because of this.


Does this make sense? If your worries are 100% about cash in the bank ( like he rants non stop about ). And you were willing to sell at $1.50. You then get a chance to sell 15% higher. And you know the company has at least 10% - 15% less cash than it did when you first thought about selling. Wouldn't you sell? Would you be afraid to be out of the stock when news of a Phase 2A was going to hit the wires? When - according to your logic - they could announce a Secondary Offering - just as easy as the results of a Phase 2A.

Nah. This is not a trader that goes long and then short. This is a trader period. This is why he says that there is no answer to RVL's question. This is why he avoids answering it. He is somewhat in it for the long term. But will use any tactics - to make money short term. Even if by adding up his posts - they do not make sense.
