Buyers were not really driving the market - the stock opened lower because the specialist matches the highest bid waiting before the open with the lowest sale - some institution must've dumped a chunk or else that wouldn't of happened - still, you are right on one count - because the stock has been preyed upon by bears & heavily shorted, it could never drop more than a few points in one day because there's always someone waiting to cover their short with a fair bid. The short interest in ERTH and any other stock which has been a bear target actually forms a cushion under the stock for a soft landing - but be warned - a lot of homework has been done on this stock and there's a lot more money bet against it than with it. The shorts are usually right in the end with cases such as ERTH><
