I would not be surprised if at least some NWBO investors end up becoming shorts after this experience. If you think about it, win or lose in the end, we've all been taken to school on how to successfully short a stock.

At least some of us are going to want to make up for lots of losses if things go south.

If things go well, most of us will be too content with our winnings to risk losing them by shorting the wrong stock. That said even an enormous NWBO success should not, mathematically deter us from shorting:

1.Bear in mind that many small shorts could have exited their positions at any time and made money by following the big players. Any small time short could have and still could, exit at any time with enormous profits and without triggering a short squeeze.

2. Most speculative biotech firms fail just like most family restaurants and by the harsh laws of economics you get creative destruction.
