They all have a similar chart to OSTK. OSTK largely rises and falls with the wind that blows all blockchain companies. Whether or not the shorts, naked or legal, are riding that wave up or down I don't know. OSTK is definitely moving with the sector as the driving force though.
I guess I'm not making the connection between IPIX and the OSTK chart.
