The one thing that has made me buy into SSBX is the large amount of institutional holders and large holders..
If you look at the volume on SSBX since they came out with earnings end of July, there has only been 4-5 days with volume that has been over the daily average.. to me that does not represent a large amount of selling off.. Obviously the stock has dropped in price however if the large holders of this company were selling, we would be seeing more than 1 day of over 1M shares being traded. I believe the over hype of the news, political plays and short sellers have kept this down. IMO
Here is a look at top holders
