Chappychap: "Shorting is essentially nothing. The biggest factor shorting plays is as an excuse on this board."
Short trades and news go hand in hand with this company. Although, if my memory serves correct, about 18mths ago, at the tail end of a news release, short traders were quasi warned to be careful. However, shorting/news relationship continued with no follow through. Not to mention, the recent senior mgt personal sell off.
As repeated by many, a 'big name' needs to be attached to a win or contract for the market to extrapolate some version of earnings.
Until then, rinse/repeat.
