{I'd like to think the drop is over}.
Me too! Maybe the market feeling is slowly swinging that way.
The CPST price looks fairly stable this AM, if not stronger in the face of a terrible opening for the entire market, though I can't put too much into a penny's worth of momo today, lol.
I think the daily short info backs up your stats, Bill. The past 2 weeks show shorters are taking a relatively smaller percentage of daily short sale volume; much weaker price pushdown than in the recent past.
