I don't think anyone's going to change their mind,

IPIX is now positioned for a big move, with results coming out soon for several clinical trials. Yesterday's unexpected press release has nothing but great news for shareholders, and tragic news for the criminals who have manipulated and suppressed the stock price. They know it, judging from the volume and some of the large trades we've seen go by, as the stock has moved from .65 to .90 on high volume in a couple of days.
My opinion (worth what you're paying for it) is that the FINRA daily number is significant, but we haven't figured out exactly how. Someone said he knew a trader who had a system based on it -- whoever that was, if you're here could you post verifying that, or PM me if you'd prefer?
I think that the 1.5 million shares that traded on the conference call day and the subsequent 3 days were significant. After some very, very low volume days, we got high volume on the CC day and the next 2 days, averaging more than 400k/day. Then, we got another very high volume take-down day. I think we say something like 800k-1million naked short shares being covered, and then some re-shorting, but not as much as the original naked short position. (note: the CUSIP change would force naked short shares to be covered, thus creating a taxable event, and forcing those shorts with large positions to pay estimated income tax on their ill-gotten gains. This would reduce their capital available as collateral for shorting.)
I have seen lots of trades like the ones that 4kids detailed -- paired trades of the same number of shares. I've seen 10 10-share "trades" in a row, walking the price down. I've seen as many as 75,000 shares listed on the ask, and then when a real bid came in, the "ask" disappeared. (I've seen high share counts on the offer many times, and have seen them disappear similarly.)
So between the suspicious timing of the Mako articles and the Rosen bogus lawsuit filing (and its loss by the ambulance-chasers), there has definitely been manipulation of this stock
And now they've scared out any weak hands, so that only strong hands are holding the stock. The company is clearly indicating that the science is working and we know that various big pharmas are looking at the clinical trials. And we've seen a buying panic since yesterday's press release. So, although I think the criminals may try again to scare people out, I also think that their days are very numbered. And they know it, or we wouldn't have seen the stock move up massively in 2 trading days, on big volume.
I hope that there is lots of new shorting, so that those people find that they are destroyed by the good news that is coming for IPIX and its genuine shareholders.
Those of us who understand this company -- which all remaining shareholders must, or they would have been scared out -- are NOT going to sell our shares cheaply to the scum. They're going to have to pay up.
