IMO,if people discover a gem they will do anything to get shares at an early stage including short it . Everyone wants shares of this including the market makers before this takes off. The only way to get large amounts of shares is to scare out the weak hands. I think after the news new eyes are watching this,eyes with big money behind them. Read the news again that $600,000 was 1 week,one race.this could be the stock of the year.
