It is very good that BP will not short AVXL aggressively, if at all IMO...
BP shorting can happen in two types of situations (both of which do not characterize AVXL) : First type is when the drug is infringing on one of BP;s important drugs, so they try to slow down or even bankrupt the rival drug... The second situation is when BP may be interested in buying said company and is not worried about other suitors if they short the price down.... AVXL is in the sweet spot however, and does not infringe on any BP in any significant way (in fact you could make a case that it would support certain BP's with fading pipelines); and for the last situation shorting by BP to lower the price for a buy out ...that will not happen either as there are way to many potential suitors given the huge market in dementia....why short a stock down so another competing company can buy it cheap? (would not be smart)..... IMO it is rare to have such a potentially large market drug and be clear of danger of any significant BP shorting..... That is a relief because IMO BP are the ones with the deepest pockets and sometimes the primary driver for them has no concern for market values...... (hedgies and other financial players on the other hand, for example do play games, but they are also majorly concerned about protecting their capital)...... all very good for AVXL IMO.....
