I would suggest you keep watching this then. With more shares short than are in the estimated actual free float, this is a very very rare situation indeed. I have been speaking with insiders and others who have been on the street for many years telling me that the situation with ANY has everyone watching with anticipation. Most have told me they have never seen anything like this and have not been able to theorize a single escape hatch that can be used. How has this backfired so badly for them?
1) penny stocks don't usually uplist this soon after going public
2) new start ups don't usually take over 2 companies (one having revenue run rate of $100MM), with no dilution, using no cash, in the same time frame. (well...a tiny little cash in V3 case)
3) Spiffy wasn't supposed to survive let alone thrive
4) Who could have predicted that their tech was almost like cold fusion, and some of the most respected people in the field would leave comfy positions with Alpha's in the biz to join Spiffy?
5) Shorts didn't count on a friendly banker with very deep pockets
6) Shorts didn't count on longs with extremely strong resolve
7) Shorts didn't count on Spiffy executing their plan with such precision.
I've never seen or been involved in a bona fide short squeeze either, but I think I am seeing one dandy in the making. "I will not sell mine until it is time."
BTW - my shares at RBC Direct were switched over to Nasdaq within 3 trading days of the delist, and are now held in US cash accounts. I also have very small positions on the ask at $40 no problemo.
