Mr. Aloha, IMHO The short squeeze could realistically take us to $25.00. The question is, when is or did the company buy it's $50 mil. in stock??? Regards, Rob

Aloha: You are correct in saying there is plenty of stock to purchase to cover the short. However, you don't have to buy the float for a squeeze. The squeeze occurs as the price rises and the shorts buy back in. It attracts other activity and there is more short stock than would be purchased in a buy back. Add the two together and when covering starts the effect of each purchase is enhanced. It is the rise in price that demands the purchase, not so much as lack of stock. Once they begin to cover the effect causes the price to rise more and the more stubborn cover. TG

There is not plenty to cover the short. There is a scarcity. Mr. Master Of The Universe 4 Million Share Short In 60 Days Recklessly Regardless Of Price came into the market and dumped 4 million shares on the market trying to save his 700 thou share underwater short position and drove the market price from $50 down to $14. Sorry but it is only common sense (not hype) that when he covers this will drive the price right back up through $50. There are two reasons: Number 1. A $50 million CYMI stock buyback that is a surprise not there before event. Number 2.The underlying fundamentals of CYMI continue to be outstanding. I know Clinton expects the public to believe that he NEVER had sexual relations with that woman. But, the plausibility of that being true is far greater than that trying to cover a 4 million share short behind a 3 million share stock buyback in a ~10 million float won't kite CYMI's stock price sky high. Particularly considering the outstanding fundamentals. Regarding your comments about my posts being hyperbole; please refrain from personal attacks and stick to facts and issues. Thanks.
