While we were only informed that it was a request for 1M shares, who really knows?
The actual NS position could easily be 25M because only then would it make sense why HMGP's shareprice is as low as it is.
Example:
Actual o/s (51M) x pps (.17) = ridiculously low MC of $8.7M.
If o/s (51M) with 25M NS (airshares) x .17 =
76M x .17 = near $13M, ...
...$13M would be a more believable MC that the vast majority of us would accept as that which is justifiable, given all things known to date, and in comparison to the MCs of enumerous other companies that do not suffer a suspected HIGH NS position.
One may argue up and down, right and left, to the possible validity of this post, but as a reasonable example, it is perfectly viable.
Wishire may easily be in connection with (and/or capable of doing business with) entities that have large stakes in HMGP, whether they be Long or Short.
