VLAD, What would be the incentive for these institutions to keep adding to their short position when it is apparent that the trend is up? If Vivus made .12 cents this quarter, then .24 cents seems plausible next quarter. Surely these institutions must realize this game is about over and any further shorting only increases their exposure. P.S. Has anyone actually seen controlled selling by these institutions today to support VLAD's theory. RT
