Exactly. Why would CC be in a hurry to only sell at 7 or 6 when, if VLNC successfully transitions to manufacturing, they could easily sell for 3 times that by this time next year?! The 'shorting' is only an option if they can acquire more shares by so doing. And now it would only be an issue after July 27 of next year. So you'd think that if that were their game, they'd hold their fire until then. So we're probably *less* likely to see *them* shorting it down below where it is now, eh?

Why do I get the impression you want people to believe your 'death spiral' scenario is still alive and kicking? I agree to a certain morbid fascination with the image (and I've seen it happen to companies before), but I think it's misplaced in this case. Sorry.

Do appreciate your other inputs, however.

FMK, CC is a hedge fund, if they can find a way to keep being paid interest, collect on the spot a 30% premium on their investment and pull their investment out (to invest it in another hedgeable situation) and keep collecting interest on no money invested, why should they take market risks that VLNC's dream will not run into another one of Murphy's sudden appearances?
