It is all supply and demand. If more shareholders hold, of course not all will, it would generate less supply which would be compounded by the recent R/S. This would naturally drive demand up along with the SP especially with good news. In the past there were literally an endless supply of shares. Shorts woiuld create FUD and investors are forced into the trap. Shorts will continue to prevail as their strategy has worked for the most part. No governmental controls, laws, or policies will deter them. In my opinion the best defense is to buy and hold until they become disenchanted and move on. When more investors are disciplined I think we will see better returns. The big change will be when fins are completed and bigger money and tutes invest. Until that happens I think that we continue the bumpy road.
