My main point however, was clearly illustrated by the charts I posted. The percentage of the daily volume accounted for by shorting, whether by amateurs or some more serious repetitive shorters, has been chugging along with the usual fluctuations for a very long time now which doesn't appear to be changed much. There's also never been a doubt at all that flippers are selling on news. That's in the flipping made easy handbook. Also remember that most flippers are not shorting. Most are small timers that don't have the assets, the required accounts, or in most cases even the know how. They just load up when there's a possibility of news and dump when strong buying pressure dominates the trading following nice news. Without high volume they can't unload many shares without the pps dropping out before they even get started. Again, many of us, you included, know without a doubt that the pps will ratchet upward this year due to all of the revenue that's now being generated. We'll most likely be seeing strong revenue growth and that'll change everything.
