The way I see  it is that the company is not ready to release news until they have they have coverage by analysts and we can assume that they are in quiet mode so they are limited in their communications until the financials are out. Short traders know this. But I think the short traders are completely hedged by being on both sides of the trade. They get to lower the price and accumulate at the discount they have created. And really I don't think they need a discount they just need to prevent a runup in the shareprice so they can slowly accumulate.

That is what I think. So I hate to say it but hurry up and wait for them to come out of quiet mode. There is a light at the end of this tunnel and in the mean time we just may see some evidence of that.
