DSS Inc (DSS)

Shorts:

Remember, Shorts are no different than Longs. They have to purchase their shares on the market. DSS is a very tightly traded stock, it takes an average of about 11 minutes to execute a trade right now. During low volume it is a pain because they have not been able to instigate sales as most "would appear" to be buying and holding. Remember, a good short trader ALWAYS has hedges against losses. The reason that DSS has so much movement in last ten minutes is that MMs have to balance their books. What I have noticed is a lot of trading between MMs. You can generally tell by trades that are at those oddball numbers. 2.9871 etc. I am not saying there isn't naked shorting and shady stuff going on but I believe that most of it occurs in OTCBB. Why would I take a flier if I was a shorter? If the merger was not to go through they would kill the old DSS and make a lot of money. In their eyes it is like betting red or black on the roulette wheel. Once again, take a look at every other IP play and the short percentage is 25% range and have twice the float. Once merger is complete then we have even smaller percentage of short (5% range). I know I sound like a broken record but volume will dictate the real movement and direction. The bottom line is the shorts have no one that is buying below 2.88 right now so they are in no mans land. JMO
