While I am convinced we are headed to some good news in the near future, and in the end while all good news is "good" some are better than others. Not all the same wrt investors or shorts. But the difference can be day and night for shorts, much more so than for the longs.

From the short perspective, imagine two alternatives for the good news to take. One, they announce very good news in the PIII trial and a good JA and news for a BLA and news for more combo trials and for Direct trials. Two, the announce a buy out say to MRK at X dollars plus Y MRK shares per share of NWBO.

While both are very good for longs, the second path is the kiss of death for all shorts, as there is no way for the shorts to talk down or spin the buyout. They are immediate losers as soon as the news is made known. On the first path for the good news, there is always the possibility to spin the news with lies, and hit pieces and predictions of ultimate failure for a myriad number of reasons they can suggest - even if they are far from the truth. The shorts can live to fight another day. Even if the path one good news causes them some loss = they will fight on. Witness May10 etc.
