Baird, you should consider the large short position in ADVH to be a warning signal. Maybe somebody knows something that we didn't find in our research. Dig deep before you bet the farm. Stocks with large short positions usually come to a bad end as large short sellers usually don't take such risks without good reason. But whatever the problem is at ADVH, I didn't find it in my research, I see no reason for the shorts.

Hi Baird; About that ADVH short position... Maybe both it and
AMZN have a large short position at least partly because of
management boxing their shares/options...

Rumor has it that when the institutions figured out that
management at ADVH was selling short their own stock,
they began dumping over the last few days.
