I realize I am being Captain Obvious with this post but whoever the big money entity is that is funding SS is really overpaying for someone who is not very good at their trade. Below you can see that SS is too lazy to change his own alias’s posted FUD and regurgitates it word for word. SS has tried to disrupt this board with multiple aliases but most longs have been blocking their posts and no one is being fooled. Btw, Squatty please spare us the drama about how much you despise your other self.

“So what is the consensus on BTD?
Has it been long enough that an answer would have been given?
If it was granted would they have announced it or is it being held under a CDA related to the terms sheet?
If it wasn't granted, why not?
If not, is it because the sample size on the high-dose chemo was too small?
Is anyone worried that we might be told to do a 2B with a larger sample size of high-dose cisplatin?
Is there anyone with the experience to answer these questions?”

Re: TheDane #51237
The 40 million plus shares pushed onto the market from Aspire.
The relentless smear campaign.
No money for B-ABSSSI phase 3.
Prurisol phase 2 (it was not a phase 2a at the time) results not good enough for phase 3.
Prurisol 2b interim canceled, results delayed indefinitely by lack of payment to CRO.
These all provided ample suppressive fire for the shorts to continue working the stock.
Also, and I know it's hard for some here to believe, there are actually people out there who do not believe IPIX will make a deal. If you're one of those people, shorting here makes total sense.
It's short/cover, short/cover, short/cover. Your numbers come out much bigger than with a single trade where 100% is the max you can earn.
Short at $4.00
Cover at $1.00 to make at 75% return.
Short at $1.00 with all those profits and releverage
Cover at $0.25 to make another 75% return.
Short at $0.25 with all those profits and releverage
Cover at $0.125 to make another 50% return.
That's a 350% ($1000 in, $4500 out) return to here.
Not much meat left on the bone right? Wrong.
Short at $0.125 with all those profits and releverage
Cover at $0.0625 to make another 50% return
That's at 580% return over all.
Shorting is great money if IPIX doesn't catch you off guard with a buyout. That won't happen if you short against your long position as a hedge. Short, turn a profit, split the profit between more shorting and averaging down the long position. Ring that goose's neck til she drops the gold eggs.

Re: Drano #43643
I think most of these shorts sellers are actually net longs working the trades. Take this sample IPIX portfolio:
100K core long position
30K long trade position
30K short position
I suspect they are long term bulls so they are comfortable being long 100K-130K at any time but they will take a 30K short position when they think a temporary peak has been hit and then cover when it dips down. This means they can make money trading the volatility, lowering their cost basis, and still be guarenteed a 100K long position in the even of a big announcement. The short position is not ever at risk because the 30K long trading position cancels it out.
On a stock like IPIX, which has declined steadily the past three years, it would have been a very wise strategy to use. Since the short interest is miniscule (less than 1% of the OS), the borrowing costs would be quiet small as well.
This of course neglects any sort of naked short position hiding under the water but the premise holds the same regardless. Only an idiot shorts something like this without a hedge.
Wish I was smart enough to do this.
Go IPIX!
