regarding the most recent round of papering. I find Anson's public entry in taking a position in ANY troublesome. I remember Sheldon I. and Pinetree gobbling up millions of shares to fend off the onslaught of the shorts creating bad blood between the two. It has been touted for some time by many that Anson was in fact shorting the company and now has been granted a plausible route by corporate to escape from their short position at the expense of shareholders via increasing the shares of the company. I think when I made my first purchase of ANY there were approximately 27-30M shares outstanding. Many ANY investors know full well that this shorting dilemma that had been initiated in Canada and continues to this day (even a cusip# change did nothing) has been a festering problem with little or no wiggle room for ANY's s/p advancing.
The only route for ANY that I perceive is to have the likes of a MSFT, or others that have been mentioned numerous times to convey the first offer to buy ANY. This would naturally create a panic in the short world. Just maybe Anson had a change of heart after witnessing the validation of ANY's products. Or they have possibly gotten the word to start the cover process of their shorts and thus the first domino is teetering. WHO REALLY KNOWS??
