Thanks Zeev but if the ones trying to short it down did so as you suggested and did not cover they could be in deep you know what because they can;t deliver restricted shares ... Also you have 3 days to come up with a cert. In some cases you have 30 days. Regardless of this I doubt it is the deal for Santa Maria that is the problem ... I believe it is nothing more than an MM that shorted it to a "Fair Market Value" and other short sellers jumping on board for the same reason. Also the public opinion of the Haber tech is not good but then again I am discovering that maybe now with cyanide being considered harmful to the environment it may be the right time for HGP to be tested. Now if they shorted it to get more shares then we will see a filing stating that and I will be ticked for being lied to however, to date this company has gone out of its way to prove they are not the ones doing this or lying. The trading log and reports are in their favor and only because of the continual boxing by HRZG, and I have been on the phone with HRZG when Warren was told the 100K short was coming out of Canada because I wanted to hear that for myself, is why I believe there is nothing but a "Fair Market Value" short scenario that has happened. Now with the certs finally in street name the key is to get these people to sell. Thus the information distortion. Welcome to what I believe is "Short and Distort" another example was BETT that tried to correct it by giving a dividend or split, changed their name, ticker and all to no avail. Only buying will cause a short to cover. The lower they can take it and the more distortion that is done will get sells. Historically it has worked before. Anyone long termers selling here are losing their royal backsides unless they bought lower to average down and even then they may just be breaking even. Everything to date does not show one ounce of twist by the company just the twisting by the bashers. I saw this type of trading before but it was HILL in CBQI. 500K float and it was going south. We like to have never figured it out until at one of the board meeting a letter was made public that the old owners of the shell had sold and then shorted half the float and were ticked because no one was selling. They did not get the certs into the market like this one did as of last week. SO I understand that there are forces in the market that short for "Fair Market Value" or venegence But like CBQI they take it too far sometimes. We may not ever know why it fell. :-) GB
