"Short selling unfortunately happens to all good companies and they just have to be wise about it."
"Unfortunately" doesn't display a healthy bias. Sometimes short sales are made based on an intelligent assessment of the publicly available information. In those cases it can inhibit the exuberance of some shareholders who, in the absence of any downward pressure, might push the price beyond a reasonable valuation.


"Look at what happened to Mannkind with 30M plus shares shorted at 4 bucks... Opened up at 8 and is now 6.5."

Even if any of that were accurate it still wouldn't say anything about ATHX...but it's not. And I really don't care about it.


I'm beginning to think that your expertise might be better employed responding to someone else's posts. Please consider it.


"(BIG MONEY) and funds, insiders (outside the company) get info, get to wait 45 days past end of quarter to announce their trade, and so many other advantages."
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed, does it?
