>>Perhaps you might like to detail how a market maker trader can "lean" on a stock without losing money except by going short - which has not happened with shares of IMNR to any material degree over the past 4 trading sessions. << Is there not a documented 1.7 million short position in the stock? I say documented because shorts utilize the "no report" rule by also trading through Canada (a total MANIPULATIVE farce BTW). To protect a position and to potentially get out, the short group works on offering stock at the ask while hitting weak bids. The desired effect is to induce selling (fear/margin calls) and break sentiment. I have watched this stock trade all week. I am an adept enough trader to know when a short is working a stock. Yes I have acknowledged that there could be some legitimate selling, but the short is also utilizing this opportunity to "lean" on the stock and keep momentum in a negative direction. They have a vested interest to do so in light of the conference no? I posted the link to another trader from yahoo who has been watching and seeing the exact same things I have pointed out. This is not a simple supply/demand equation. If you think the MM's play by the rules I have some nice property for you in S. Fla.... Robert
