I'd beg to differ on that. Although CSTI seems to be a major participant, it appears that BTIG is really the one that has been shorting / pushing the price down. BTIG only posts minimal lot sizes, so it has been disguising itself somewhat.

There was a very large lot late yesterday afternoon that CSTI posted at 1.16. Interestingly enough, it cleared at once, but I believe that it was not a sell but more likely a cover.

A general note / question for the board. In trading activity like yesterday's, there was a very large number of trades at the bid, but the bid did not drop. Given the amount of shorting in the past week and a half or so, combined with the fact that most of us as retail investors must buy at the ask, how do these large numbers of trades execute at the bid?

TIA (for the question I just raised) and GLTA.
