Matt: If the shorties were so sure of their position, why would they come to this thread to try to scare us out of our shares? They would not need to. They simply could wait for a bad BD/Bateman report and cover into the price decline that this would cause. No, they are trying to shake loose our shares BEFORE the report comes out, because they are afraid that they will have to pay much more to cover after the report comes out. Even if they don't cause many current holders to sell, I'm sure they are also trying to plant enough doubt to discourage people from buying. Which leads me to my next point. I would not be surprised if the price opens lower tomorrow a.m. on a few small sells. As long as nobody is buying, they are pretty much free to get the price down on a few thousand shares, and then cover many more shares without driving the price up. This seems to be the pattern of the last few days. Let's just hope that doggone report comes soon and puts an end to this crap.
