So there's a thread on YMB arguing whether a long delay suggests better odds of a victory for shorts or longs.

Kinda like a long jury deliberation is good for defendants. (It's east to come back in a half hour with a quick guilty verdict)...

So any opinions?

One intriguing one is that the longer the delay the greater the likelihood of some underlying SEC investigation of short sellers and market manipulation. Obviously shorts are paying a premium.

Then imagine a delay through options expiration...

More thoughts?
