I don't think there are much in shorts - anyone who has read anything about IMCL would have recognized what the co has. Initially, when got in , thought they would have got coverage, etc, but that was wishful thinking. The fact is, and I've compared it to several companies, IMCL's technique works, and the co is conservative - if anybody read my posts giving my opinion on their conservatism, comparison to other co's they would not have wanted to short this.

Here is the development of the shorts' arguments :

Message 8249128 <-the Q when
Message 8249212 <-A says wait
Message 8249279 <-Cube spks out
Message 8249385 <-Bear says caution
Message 8249703 <-xcl of long order - when did anyone mention long?
Message 8249718 <-A xcl's short -- when was short mentioned by A - implies was going to short
Message 8249957 <- realization news cud be explosive
Message 8249974 <- "good call" not to short - well, if you'd seen anythin from my analysis, why would anyone think of shorting on the fundamnetals??
Message 8250130 <- truth vs ego - not trying to be ego, but haven't heard anything to acknowledge the research & comments by all on the IMCL thread, company is conservative
Message 8250205 -- how come this doesn't appear on the A@P picks page?
Message 8250206 <- realization that IMCL has options - did anyone notice Marty's mention that 780 contracts went off and then I found it was all in 1 block and bot at 5/16 !!!
Message 8250266 <-they think it is real vs a scam
Message 8250408 <-- no kidding, but mention of Merck makes it seem like Merck USA, which it is not.
Message 8250486 -- 1st person to mention short now comes around to thinking long
Message 8250488 -- bot the calls
Message 8250526 -- how many times someone got to say it, if you read this thread, you would have been in in the 9's at worst case
Message 8250535 <-- A did short it and then went long - how did in a relatively short time span, does one do an investigation of the fundamentals? - well, angain if they listened to 5,17,37,5,101's , Marty's, me, JEB's comments...
Message 8250594 <-- hadn't anyone listened / read my posts comparing IMCL vs the opthers?
Message 8250714 <-- so the alert to short, did get reversed
Message 8250811 <-- no kidding !!!
Message 8250823 <-- wow, in a minute, going from short to long - maybe it's only me, but i can't go long or short something unless i have a bit of an idea of the company. If you know something and there is mention of the co on CNBC, you can grab profits - like GERN over a year ago, like COF. Sure there are many co's I know nothing about, but I've researched somewhere like 500 or so copmanies and have a bit of an idea of what each does. Again, shorting / longing a co, i know nothing about scares the heck out of me
Message 8250863 <- how many times - finally - mention the co is real - what had i been trying to say for about 3 months
Message 8250989

My point 5,17,37,5,101 is there are few persons short, imo
