Re: Reality
Now that you have made me paranoid - what if the short is a deliberate maneuver by would-be buyers of the company?They know the science. If the short succeeds in killing the company, they profit from that (and can probably buy the patents). And if the short merely keeps the price down at the time of future buy-out, they still win, because the loss on the short would be compensated for by the saving of not having to buy the company at a higher price. It takes a lot of incentive to short this much. The angle can't be the pennies.
Just the raving of a sleepless long.
