My guess is that all this fuss about shorters is nonsens.

Now I don't think there has been any heavy shorting around here. BUT if there has been, it can get really interesting. Next week, I would guess that more then 60% of the FREE float will vanish from OTC. That will leave the shorters in a very though spot since it's very likely that the Oslo listing will bring a cluster of positive events next week too :-)
So that will leave the shorters with much less available share to cover from and the will have to work upstream in a flood of positive news, so their normal dirty tricks won't help.

Is there really no way for anyone to find out if there have been shorts around last couple of days in here?? Is OTC really that fukced up??

If there are legal shorts you will see it then in the bi-monthly short interest. Other than that, almost impossible. If the MM's go too far we get onto the regSHO list but even then they can shuffle shares around in order to get off.
