NorthWest Biotherapeutics Inc (NWBO)

I believe the market was unaware of the entire thing, and the persons trading, some in large amounts, some shorting, did so with complete knowledge of what was going on in terms of the presentation. Sellers may have been spooked by Adam implying that she would not present for other reasons. And the company did say she had covid and it was easy to find, but the presentation was not FROM NWBO. It was from the team that managed the trial effectively. They did PR that she was going to be there, but PR'ing it again to say she would not, would probably have had the opposite effect you suggest Gary, as that WOULD have reached many more people, including MANY MORE SHORTS, than not PR'ing it. The presentation was going to go on no matter what, so elevating that to the significance of a PR, would probably have basically attracted many more flies, meaning to have attracted not the people you want to attract to the party. Adam Feuerstein has almost 107,000 followers and you can bet most or virtually all of them are active traders and mostly shorts. But attracting even more shorts with a PR in the manner you suggest, that's probably not a great idea.

And Adam would have tweeted even more about it, now with the PR in the body of his tweet, which would have no doubt been tweeted even more by his followers to their short followers.
