"SHORTS ARE KILLING US HERE" No, they're not, for the simple reason there's no short interest in EVCA whatsoever: "Short Selling Data Short Interest 0 (-100%) Sep 14, 2012 Significant Failures to Deliver No" http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/EVCA/company-info What's "killing" EVCA's pps is that it is the current subject of a paid pump, which is invariably followed by a dump campaign. I do hope that helps clear things up.
