Well I agree with you on one point alone. The current state of the stock price is due to the the company itself and its own doings.
As far as the short side of the story, you are over thinking it, in my opinion. There is most likely a few large short positions. Its not a big surprise, so far shorting on any significant up move has been the right call. Again, its not a significant position, it increased only incrementally. Its not like 50% of the float is short, its not even 10%. I can show you hundreds of well run companies with higher short ratios. Shorts (when its actually borrowed and not artificially created) are not bad people, they are putting a company on notice that they think the company is either being mismanaged or becoming overvalued on a technical and/or fundamental basis.
There could very well be some kind of trade involving the issued warrants and option. And you know what, if that is the only thing keeping this stock down (which I highly doubt) then blame needs to go no further than those who put that deal in place.
On a side note, whatever happened to Pizzrod? His posts were ludicrous but he seemed to have a decent connection to the company and had entertaining posts.
