My guess is that people realized there is a big issue with LTC's sales/revenue. (Maybe delayed until 2010 or 2011; possiblity) Which is why people are dumping their shares.
I don't think shorting is a big problem, I have followed the short numbers in the past and shorting wasn't really an issue. The short numbers were relatively small.
