You are far more experienced than me, but let me answer #2 first. That is relatively easy.

IMO, Answer #2 = 100 to 250 PPS on the day both events were announced -- increasing beyond that.

IMO, Answer #1 = Too difficult to tell, but here is the technique the hedge funds use upon a huge announcement (and let me say that if both of those PRs were announced on the same day, there is very little the hedge funds could do.) Hedge funds would also buy all the way up, and at the top of day 2 they would buy short positions. Then they would sell almost all long positions they bought all the way up in very large blocks, all the while making 'paper' money on their short positions. (Again, if the scenario was as presented in your hypothetical, I don't think we'd need to worry a great deal about a hostile takeover based upon the weeks and months of attention NWBO would garner.) Anyway, upon getting the price down to some level with their large block sales, they would then convert their shorts, and sell those in large block sales to try and drag the price down further. They would combine the large block sales with efforts to discredit the findings with incestuous media hit pieces suggesting revenue is a long way off, attack management for one reason or another and distract potential retail investors with sparkly alternative companies that actually have no meat on their bones.
