Thanks for the post. Looks like M. jumped ship even though it wasn't
sinking. Conrad had a novel about a sailor that did that.

Have I got my reading right? M. was selling steadily under 2.00.
He ran out of stock, then started to short the position. At least
those are minuses in front of a bunch of sales. He got a gift of
125,000 shares and started to sell those.

But what about T? He was doing the same wasn't he? As well, he
got a gift of 125,000 shares. At least there's no price associated
with them.

Would someone who understands this stuff better than me please
explain exactly what was going on.

From the perspective of the last couple of days, it looks like they
got it wrong. But then they had large positions to unwind. And
who knows where the buy back in price will be.

Ah well, he may have left a little trail of Moose turds to find his way back.
Who took down the PP? I've heard it three ways now - insiders/CC/Yorkton, BigEasternMoney, and BigEuropeanMoney. If it's insiders/etc then MM may have been selling to raise cash for the PP ... same with Turton ...... Dupasquier, Lucas and Angus show up on the buys in the last few months, too - market buys, not option exercises.

Carlson Online has new paid services on their site, I was helping a little to beta-test them ..... the insiders are listed better than on that BCSC ftp site. They have short positions too (wsp shorts 30/10 93,400 - no update yet for 15/11) and a free trial, likely worth trying imho fin-info.com
