right but the legal short imo isn't the abusive sh
Post# of 72440
my focus is on the *abusive* aspect in play against OTC targets .. that said it was pretty clear what the *legal* showed in 2017 after mgmt's upside surprise of June 2017 ..
(name/ticker/cusip change out)
it adjusted upward about 500k .. and for the most part has held in a *very tightly controlled size and pps range .. since then
bottom line is *imo* .. i am lucky to be an investor in Innovation Pharma
because not only do we have the science .. we have a mgmt knows that imo understands the tactics' deployed by NR ..

When retail traders' gangs short stock, they have costs for holding those positions -- interest on the loaned stock. So when people hold a short for a long time, it is not cost-free to them.
That could be a reason for these take-downs -- try to cover the stock to take some profit and pay for the interest cost. Then, run it up and short again.
I am hoping that the morons short IPIX again. It will make it all the more terrible for them when news comes and the searing short squeeze happens.

When you borrow a stock you may have to pay interest on that "loan," just as you would when you borrowed any other type of asset. The rate of interest is generally set by broker-dealers and is dependent upon such factors as the availability of shares. In general, fewer available shares means a higher rate of interest.
