>>But short selling became possible only after the shares hit the open market in March, says Sylver. Before that time, the company's stock was closely held and did not trade very often. From March to July, the company's stock declined from nearly $3 to as low as 5/32. Trading volume, which had never passed 200,000 shares per day before March, has risen that high or higher numerous times since. <<
By sheer coincidence it seems (wink wink snicker nudge) AZNT's volume topped 200,000 on June 16th, the same day Mr. Fasano issued his second press release outlining the plans to "squeeze" the evil shorts.

Sylver is correct in that it doesn't seem that AZNT ever had much in the way of volume. However there seems to be a correlation in the timeing of the increased volumes and the appearance of Puhrty and Bgtit on this thread and the press releases. Surely no one would have been trying to sell into the hype.......surely.
