Wait a minute! Did I read that right?----
"My position is very small due to the upcoming reverse split."
I thought you were disagreeing on the likelihood of a reverse. lol
Of course, you're very possibly right when it comes to huge upwardly biased momentum bringing the share price to new celestial heights. However, this company is truly a horse far darker than the usual ones seemingly worthy of long term investment. At this point in time, it might be seen as insane to put a lot of eggs into what is literally a two-bit stock.
Paying for the privilege of PRing this morning's news regarding dismantling warrants as a precursor to making ready for uplisting suggests to me that the company hopes to retain more leverage than might be the case were BCLI to put itself up for sale---or its products, for that matter. If this is so, then a soaring stock price may not be a given at all. America's Wild West is littered with wildcat oil and gas wells financed by landowners more accustomed to herding cattle. BCLI may not have marketing acumen sufficient to produce that soaring stock price you mention.
Uplisting often hurts the initial investors although not necessarily because of shorting. Often it's a knee-jerk reaction to finding one's self suddenly thrust onto a larger than life stage with too many sets of eyes scanning for investment opportunities. Shorts thrive on volatility and represent an ever-present threat to a long's longer term attention span. Thus there will likely be a period of uncertainty surrounding this company, should publicity fill the sails with dreams of windfall profitability around the corner.
If you're right, do you see a factor of 19 from today's 27 cents? Not to say it couldn't happen. I'd love it for all of my 20,000 reasons. lol
