if you look at the chart, it appears that the stock price had made a low, then began a rally that had extended far enuff to indicate a strong trend change had happened.
i think this spooked the shorts who needed to cover and that may have motivated the shorts to act by creating this hit piece and use the SA megaphone to try to cover as much of their short position as they could. i think this may be all they have and could be the last distortion they can put out. all of the cattle that could spook may have sold with this story so maybe we have only the stronger hands holding the remaining long positions. just wish i had money left.
