Sure the squeeze matters but something someone else was trying to get at is where has the cash flow come from for operations the last few (6-12) months? Isn't it possible that more shares were issued to pay the bills and if so this affects the squeeze. Until the financials can be analyzed the question is up in the air. I think the 8-K filing will handle some of the issues that the SEC has just fine but until the 10K is issued there still are many material questions that nobody is currently able to answer. Joe

Then why have Riley's posts demonstrated a zeal for the company and it's business.....I still am not certain what it is however the primary seems to be concerns the sales of stock.

DD comments: I have been reading some Internet message boards that talk about short squeezes in two stocks: EUTO and RMIL. Does a short squeeze really exist in these stocks or is it just hype to inflate their prices? Message posters claim illegal shorting. SD Reply: For a "bonafide" short squeeze to occur, someone or lots of investors need to buy a stock "long" and remove those shares from the public float, typically by taking physical delivery of certificates. This is done to deprive short sellers of collateral stock required of them and force the short seller to buy-back at higher prices. Nevertheless, professional short sellers do have their ways of continuing to sell short or avoid "buy-ins" ad-infinitum. This is also referred to as "illegal" short selling and is a topic for a future Stock Detective report: Other than encouraging long-term shareholders to request physical delivery of their share certificates, the only feasible defense against the ravages of small-stock short sellers is for a company is to achieve financial success and garner widespread support at comparable market valuations. For well-intentioned upstarts and development stage companies with little or no fundamental strength (earnings or equity) short sellers can easily spoil the party. On the other hand, for scam stocks, short sellers sometimes show uncanny ability to bring inflated or manipulated shares back to reality. - S.D.
