Seems like shorts & traders working together. The volume has been very high for a long time. Tells me traders have accumulated a lot of shares. Hard to see them being able to do it without driving up pps on the open market. Most likely got their shares via warrants in order not to have huge one day swings.
The Fife deals seem to benefit Fife, traders & CYDY as well. Deals probably have more to do with available shares & ability to sell than science. Too much short interest & a potential short squeeze would probably be quite upsetting to traders.
Probably not all that bad long-term. It is just their deceitful ways.Pretending to be long & manipulating longs.
IMHO, longs who tune it out will do quite well, but I doubt traders & shorts get hurt here.
My guess as to delayed cc was gaining access to Amarex data & a few concerned or diligent parties wanting time to go over it. With the covid explosion, NASH, continued cancer survival, protocols,etc..., this may wind up being quite the bundle. All those catalysts did not go away overnight.
