to say it has metastasized to this board is nothing but tasteless

Really?? "A total red herring" Wow, sorry that I posted what I thought were at least "some" credible observations and comments. "Red herring" by definition means that you look at my comments as being fallacious, irrelevant and meant to divert attention from the real issues. This is not IHUB and I would not have expected an all encompassing "label" as red herring.No, I don't know the science like you yet I think that there are more reasons why a company's stock price reacts than just the fundamentals especially when a company had lost over 90% of its market value (2013) and there are a lot of residual factors with held positions, accumulation and changing direction. Also, I do get it that short positions could be a warning sign, generally are not good (for longs) and my comments about such were an attempt at expanding the possible reasons and outcomes.And the last thing that I would think of myself as is a conspiracy theorist who credits everything to manipulation and puts out "just" bulletin board material. I will not be posting here and wish you the best and respect your opinions and valuable contribution in helping others understand what is going on. Thanks to all for contributing.
