ok, I thought you were supporting Gold, that the short position was insignificant, and that it was there because of a bad quarterly report. But now you are saying that there was a spike in the stoke price before the quarterly and that after the quarterly the stock price went down 50% because of the shorting. If that is the case, then buying back these shares will send the stock price up 100% from where it is now. Because that is what shorting is, it is not supposed to effect the price of the stock at all. if you short 16 million, and then buy back 16million, it equals out supply and demand and the price of the stock is the same taking out stock manipulation. :) So you are saying that this 16 million in shorts is significant, and it can make the stock shoot up 100% right?
