Since most, if not all, of the volume is from the toxic death spiral convertibles being converted to common shares at a 50% discount to the market price, no. Toxic death spiral conversions drive the stock price lower, not higher. Thus the "death spiral" portion of the name. The converting and dumping results in new conversions at lower prices than the prior conversions, which then drives the price lower and lower. It spirals downwards, not upwards, until eventually and inevitably, the company dies.
