I suspect there has been a small amount of short covering since yeaterday. It looks to me that they are being careful not to push the price up by just buying little lots and a little sell here and there to hold the price and lock in most of their profit. The cross trades are present, if belonging to the shorter, they are transferring their short position over to a long position account.They are also using the Alpha Exchange to help with this. We are getting close to news and the end of the month. Going by the shorting pattern, they will usually cover around this time, before the 2 week period, and will try to sell us down again next wed, if they plan to short again.

These are the legal shorters I am talking about, and its very possible that there is no short covering, it is only suspected by me, by my observations. If manipulation has been done to our sp, the legal shorts have contributed to our decline but have not caused the entire damage that seems to be have done, IMO. For the record, I don,t agree with short selling, but it is legal and many practice it. I am suprised to see a legal short position on this stock and guess that it will soon be completely gone.
