---The operation was a success, but the patient died.

---In order to save the village, we had to destroy the village.

---In order to succeed with the business plan, we had to fail with the stockholders.

The third statement seems to make as much sense as the other two. Company is doing great, stock's suffering.

Seems to be no question but what TAVA is a short trader's dream stock. Short down as far as the numbers will allow (3-5?), drive out interest from new and larger investors, buy back slowly to cover your short position and so as not to create any interest from new/larger investors. Repeat.

There's an old joke which asks why dogs do a certain thing to themselves to which the the answer is, "Because they can."

I think the same reasoning applies to the short traders' dance with TAVA.
