Hi If only I'd held; It's one of my pet theories, that due to the inability of getting shares to borrow, microcaps are good plays when they get a news mention, even if the mention is a bad one. If a stock is on everyone's lips, then more people are more likely to put on a position. But since shorting requires borrowing, plus having the right account type &c., it's likely to be positive for the stock price.
