The Palisade outfit … Just thoughts ...
Palisade took a big chunk of the $1.05 PP and they act as a paid promoter. They made a lot of noise right after the PP, then went completely quiet and now seem to be back on the promo job.
The short data
shortdata.ca
seem to point towards them shorting roughly the equivalent of the PP shares at somewhere around $1.30 which would reduce their true PP share cost to roughly $0.80.
There’s obviously no guarantee that this short data is correct especially since Palisade is an off-shore entity.
All in all, it still looks like their average cost is still well above current SP which is why I have started to gingerly add to my position in spite of not having changed my opinion on the not so bright idea of letting the Palisade fox into the henhouse.
Anyone with a different take on the Palisade issue?
