Ways to discourage a price rise.
1) Put up a large number of shares for sale at a price where the shorters get some protection such as is the case at .145 right now as I post.
2) Spread news of useless techiques that if investors put up their shares for sale noone can borrow your shares for short sale purposes. That may be true, but nobody thinks, what happens if your shares are already borrowed. The answer is simple. They simply borrow someone else's. The only way the put them up for sale process would work is if EVERYONE placed ALL their shares up for sale. And if that happened, the market depth would look so negative that the price would be suppressed.
Nobody thinks to realize that these same 'techinique professors' leave out the part that putting your shares up for sale (even at high levels) affects the market depth figures which algorythms may use to keep suppression logic alive and well. The more shares up for sale, the worse the market sentiment looks hence the lower the share price stays. Who does this help protect? The short sellers of course.
It is time for a squeeze. There is precious little time left for short sellers to cover their shorts. If there were no share up for sale at any price, the short sellers would be DRIVEN TO PANIC.
3) Move the higher priced trades of to the ATS so that a lower price shows on the TSX. I see this being done routinely depending if the traders with access to such things want the price to stay lower or higher. Algorithms can then be written to close the market at 16:59:59 to trigger a closing price that some Anonymous traders want it to be within reasonable bounds that is.
