There is difference between "investors" and "traders." In my opinion, most short position folks are "traders," and that is fine. There is a ton of money to be made going short on a stock, especially shorting true pump and dumps!! Most retail folks do not even know what it means to short a stock or can find shares.
We all know articles and opinions affect share price, obviously,that's why were here as in the case of XXII, and the GEO teams original article to cause that quick drop. I think it only helps XXII, and the future will soon tell. A few days have passed and XXII share price has recovered nice. Does anyone think that is by accident??? Maybe that was the true set-up?? It gave original long holding folks, like myself(and those who bought high in the past) an opportunity to reload and also offer the shorts that really know the truth about XXII to cover some losses.
When I look for a Big Stock, I want to see a company that has a competitive advantage in a major investing wave. This wave can be created by DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY, EXTENSIVE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, or a GOVERNMENT MANDATE...or fortunately in this case, all three for XXII!!! (Google vangorilla's article about XXII)
Time is the most value asset we have in this life,and the timing for all the pieces of the puzzle for XXII and their future, although delayed, are about to come to fruition in my opinion!!!
When we fail in business, life, stock decisions, relationships, or whatever it may be, only 2 things happen. #1 We Make excuses OR #2 We learn. What have you learned from these past articles to cause a sudden drop or the previous ones that sent this stock to a high of $6+? How did they affect your decision on your stock position with XXII long or short?? How do you prepare before even buying a stock??
This will be a great humble, learning opportunity for management of XXII who I believe WILL NOT QUIT on their passion for the future of this company and to possibly help change the world!!

Smoking is the #1 cause of premature death in the world, according to the World Health Organization.
People want a safer cigarette, XXII will be the first to deliver.
There are peer review studies every 3 weeks from the 17million cigarettes that the gov't already purchased from XXII.
The Tobacco industry is an 80 Billion dollar in the US and $700 Billion+ globally.
Fighting BIG Tobacco is no joke. They have deep pockets, and connections beyond our scope. Waiting on the Government can be a grueling process as well!
I do like the managements position to launch the Red Sun product and join Big Tobacco at their own game. From my understanding the Red Sun product has been labeled as the "BEST TASTING CIGARETTE IN THE WORLD"....comparable to a big name cigarette. Red Sun, the premium brand is a safer cigarette(lower tar ratio), although, XXII not legally yet able to say it.
This is going to be extremely interesting next week, now that XXII can "imminently" sell these smokes!! Soon share holders can request some to try!
Our family is extremely holding long position XXII and happy to be right where we are! Thank you XXII for the opportunity!
