Eezie et all, did anyone go back to the start of this thread and read the posts? About 95% of them were negative,with people shorting in the 30's,and expecting single digits. Here is one post.

I also shorted through Schwab, but it was a pain. I had
to call everyday until there were shares that were available.
Can't believe the stock went up two bucks a share today on such
low volume.

Sounds like almost all the stock is shorted. This concerns
me a bit. If the crazy speculators ever get this stock heading
higher, there may be a heck of a "short squeeze".

Anyone have a clue in what it's going to take to get this
stock heading lower? Probably no shorts available to sell,
and we have alot of people waiting to buy in order to cover
their shorts.

He was prophetic,I wonder how many people ran the short from 30 to 114? Wow what a loss that would be.
I am trying to figure out human behavior,seems its always wrong.
