Absolutely. Their was almost 100k shorted the day before they announced either the $2.1 Mil contract or exceeding guidance. I did not think you could short but obviously wrong. My guess is once news comes out we are going to bury the shorts.
Currently 10k shorted. I believe they are going away for now.
Remember this changes nothing. Shorts can tamper with the stock price but as long a scompanies focus on the operations and results the stock will take care of itself.
