IPIX has been manipulated and attacked. All those who follow the stock know about these issues and individuals possibly interested in taking a position should research all such things. So there is no doubt about past and probable ongoing manipulation, and actual shorting of the stock has almost certainly gone on as well. But numbers repeatedly posted showing the FINRA daily short position has highly questionable validity for determining the actual short position that exists with IPIX or any other stock. This view is based on an actual FINRA publication, linked below, that all persons who are considering investing should read if they indeed note the posted numbers on this forum and have concerns over the implications of those numbers. FINRA numbers cannot be any more valid than a FINRA description of possible misinterpretation of those same numbers. Valid is valid.
