Many brokerage houses will not even allow you to purchase NTGL shares. My Fidelity account will not allow me to purchase additional shares because NTGL is dark and non-reporting. I can always call Fidelity and ask them to put a trade through but what a pain and on top of that you can get charged an awful lot for the transaction going that route.
Plain and simple the shorts can and will have their way until NTGL begins reporting again. Once we return to reporting status, the new NTGL team members are officially announced, and we get a few of our machines licensed and on the Vegas floors the shorts will be smoked and burned and the PPS skyrockets 10-20 multiples very quickly.
