Lightwave Logic Inc (LWLG)

Companies will do what they can to keep competitors from moving ahead and compromising sales. If they are paying attention, the DSP chip companies at least know what we know about the technology as it has been public knowledge. They know other foundries are working out the manufacturing details and that is harder for the DSP chip companies to control. Perhaps they know more than we do about who the end users are that are interested in Lightwave's tech. Could they be behind some of the shorting to keep the share price down? That is possible as it could affect accessing capital making it harder to ramp quickly except LWLG has enough capital to get started and they run a capital light enterprise. Are they trying to keep the price lower anticipating a better buyout price? All open questions.
If they are partly behind the shorting I don't think it changes much regarding a rollout, other factors are more important and up to Lightwave and partners. I do believe DSP companies are very concerned about potent competitors coming into the market. I think most of the shorting is related to the market that is staying away from pre-revenue companies making it easier to short and not face buying pressure. All of it is unimportant as long as Lightwave contininues to move into commercialization.
