Theory is that Google (thru intermediaries) is attacking the PPS.
If they are, can Google really do much more?
The shares have to be available to be shorted. Institutional investors will definitely loan their shares to be shorted. Some retail investors loan their shares to be be shorted and many more don't know that their broker loans their shares. Not counting naked shorting which I doubt Google would go there, that's all that Google has available to short.
This is probably the short number that we see 20-25%
What else can Google do?
More institutions could buy and increase the shorts available
Or Google could buy VRNG shares and then short them to themselves
Did I miss any other avenues they have to attack the PPS?
