The stock price is going to go all over the place with or without the shorts, whales or other entities playing the ANY stock.
The ultimate determining factor to drive the stock price up or down will be the results Sphere 3D derives from the marketplace period.
Regardless of what was said or wasn’t said in the conference call, what EK paid for the shares purchased, what relationships Sphere 3D has with different companies, or any other actions the company has taken or didn’t take, the final factor will be the results that are produced.
Does Sphere 3D have real revenue producing technology or is it all “smoke and mirrors”?
The jury is still out and will be back in with verdict around September 30, 2015.

The real market vs the expectations market
In today’s paradoxical world of maximizing shareholder value, which Jack Welch himself has called “the dumbest idea in the world”, the situation is the reverse. CEOs and their top managers have massive incentives to focus most of their attentions on the expectations market, rather than the real job of running the company producing real products and services.
The “real market,” Martin explains, is the world in which factories are built, products are designed and produced, real products and services are bought and sold, revenues are earned, expenses are paid, and real dollars of profit show up on the bottom line. That is the world that executives control—at least to some extent.
The expectations market is the world in which shares in companies are traded between investors—in other words, the stock market. In this market, investors assess the real market activities of a company today and, on the basis of that assessment, form expectations as to how the company is likely to perform in the future. The consensus view of all investors and potential investors as to expectations of future performance shapes the stock price of the company.
In the real market, there is opportunity to build for the long run rather than to exploit short-term opportunities, so the real market has a chance to produce sustainability. The real market produces meaning and motivation for organizations. The organization can create bonds with customers, imagine great plans, and bring them to fruition.
SPHERE 3D FOCUS IS ON THE "REAL MARKET"
