Ahhhh, shorts, our favorite topic. Shorting is a legal strategy. Not all shorts are naked which seems to be the point your making. You mentioned the iso didn't work out. You falied to mention the many other failures.I believe the stock price would still be 80 cents even if there were no shorts. Why? Because no revenue, no product until recently. Would the price be $4 now assuming no shorts? I say no
