The short situation in ANY.V will likely not be resolved until we start seeing some significant moves in quarterly earnings numbers.
The naked shorting situation could provide some fireworks if delisting occurs, but no one honestly knows how many naked shorts there are - could be 2,000 could be 2,000,000. At the moment it is all speculation, and these things usually seem to fizzle in my experience. However, if there are even 500,000 naked shorts and they have to cover on a de-list scenario, that would be interesting, especially if we all hold and don't give in to them - imagine the chaos!
The coordinated slander articles appear to be having no effect on the day to day stock price - retail investors are holding firm and appear committed to "know what you own". Most are longs looking for a big payoff at some point in the medium to long term. Stalemate there.
What does concern me however is the general malaise with institutional investors right now. Are the slander hit pieces having an effect here by keeping them on the sidelines for now? Or... is it that combined with a "show me the money" sort of wait and see approach? Which brings me back to my first sentence. Until we start seeing a positive market response and widespread acceptance of Glassware and the whole converged solution they are presenting, in the form of top line growth, we will be in stasis for a few quarters yet.
Conclusion: Give them time and worry less about the short situation, and worry more about how the market will respond to their converged solutions. PT & EK need to inspire the troops and continue to promote this to anyone who will listen to them.
