You are right... if these longs are selling, that would be unfair to you. But as I wrote, it wouldn't be so unfair if they can't sell, now would it? In fact, that would be, to use your word, "fricken'" great, now wouldn't it?
Now if the rumor is accurate, then the Company has yet another small allotment of cash raising using old warrants with those friendly to them, and then there's no selling of those shares into the market. Now as for last week's raise where 3.7m shares were exchanged - rumor has it those weren't so friendly. Hence, they were sold, I think, into the market on Monday. Was the intent to run the share price down or up? I really don't know.
I could see that they may have planned to sell them to those friendly to them in a back and forth sort of fashion, slowly moving the share price down to .25. But I can also see that they may have thought they'd sell them into the market hoping for a pop - and that we'd buy those shares in anticipation of next week's news. And then they'd sort again. So as far as this paragraph goes, rumor isn't a part of it. I have no absolutely no idea what the original plan had been. But whatever the plan had been, IMO, it got away from them. I don't believe they thought it would create the stir it did. So after Monday's action, the traders jumped in on Tuesday, and I think those not friendly to NWBO had to work very hard to tamp out the small fire they'd started.
In the end, it changes nothing as to what next week will bring. If the news is big enough, we'll see the same thing, but exponentially higher.
If not, well, that's when we'll head further south. And then you should use your expletives. As for now, they are very unnecessary.
