I agree that hedge funds were active on May 10th. One that was outwardly visible was Aristides Capital, LLC. Specifically Christopher Brown, Managing Partner.

Mr. Brown went out of his way to make it look like NWBO's DCVax-L trial had failed during the May 10th presentation of Dr. Paul Mulholland:

They changed to a historical control exactly like I said they would. LOL $NWBOhttps://t.co/b1TLd0VOrt

What does Mr. Brown look for when he shorts a stock?

Chris describes how hard it is to short any meme stocks and concentrates his short book on a shareholder base that is largely retail.

What bursts enthusiasm bubbles?

Mr. Brown:

Losing Money

^^ fits exactly with 5-10

Mr. Brown looks to short stocks that

have a very excited investor base, but not particularly knowledgeable

Mr. Brown's strategy can be summed up as:

Why Fight Mike Tyson when you can kick grandma in the shins

What things tend to burn themselves out?
1. Trading at a high enterprise value to revenue
2. burning a lot of cash and dependent on future financing
3. very excited investor base

^^ check check check for NWBO


How much of a short position does Mr. Brown hold in NWBO?

But these days, I mean, you’ve got like, just absolutely, companies with all sorts of ridiculous high jinks that are trading, you know, in the $600 $700 million to $2 billion kind of market cap valuations which you just you know, seeing that kind of stuff is just it’s pretty insane and it’s It makes it, it really makes it challenging on the short side, because things that are just hugely high conviction ideas. I mean, we usually size positions where we’re used to taking some pain and being able to stay in the position.

(emphasis added)

His short positions seems like it would be sizeable. His fund seems to be ~$200m, half(ish), or more, of which is in short positions. In one of his writings he hinted at 58% of the fund being short. He hinted in the youtube video that he shorts between 60-80 stocks at a time. Nothing out there definitive that he still holds a short position in NWBO, but I'd bet he does and I'd bet it is sizeable.


Why do I dedicate a post to a short hedge fund?!

I think it is important to know that when I state "nefarious forces" are out there trying to destroy NWBO that this is ACTUALLY happening. These forces are all over social media and message boards. They are posting straight out fabrications and half truths on social media every single day. They set false sale dates. They throw out disinformation. They try to build expectations only to crush them even harder when something doesn't pan out. They push false science. They try to build themselves a backstory to blend in with the 'common investor'. At the end of the day, it is important to do your own DD. IMO, long and strong in NWBO will work out in the end. These nefarious forces will not be able to fight the volume that comes with new shareholders once the JA, commercial mfg. approval, RA approvals, an uplisting, etc. all come out. Shorts will burn. Hold tight.



Also, I couldn't have made a better meme picture of the guy than this picture I found on FB so enjoy:
