Opko Health Inc (OPK)

Compared to the normal volumes, Fridays volume was beyond huge, it was monstrous. In more ways than one. After the big drop with the announcement of the BRLI acquisition for issued shares of OPK, shorts have been seeing our stock climbing day after day and then Friday it finally climbed above the $15 range. That showed that the downtrend was decisively broken. For shorts that was monstrous. The higher it climbs the more they will be losing, and if their losses start to threaten to exceed what they have in their account, their brokerage firm will take over their account and forcefully close out their short position and sell the stocks in their account to cover the costs. They will be wiped out. Period. The smarter ones see that coming and will start covering their shorts. The others will have their accounts taken over by their broker and they will lose their shorts. Literally.

I wonder if Alpert shorted OPK and then wrote and published his article in Barons. If so it didn't work. Well for him it did, because he would have bought OPK when it was $19 a share. Does anyone know if there is someway to see if he shorted OPK before he wrote the article. If so, then the SEC should be notified so that they can start an investigation.
