Agreed. I would be surprised if they weren't running it up right now actually, and an AF bash article is being produced in the wings to be released tomorrow and then dumped/shorted down. I don't believe the 30% run up today has much to do with the preclinical data to be honest. If he puts an article out tomorrow, and the pps plummets, that might be the most obvious thing that has ever happened to any stock. Or they may wait for this to run up for a couple more trading days, and then boom hit article and short attack.

Bas; While it's possible that the data was leaked to the shorts, it wouldn't have been an unreasonable guess for them, seeing the run-up on mere hopeful anticipation VS the dismal history of prior ALZ drug candidate lack of success.
Though, i agree, we've seen them simply gang up on small, low float stocks.
But really, this mostly only affects traders and not the LTBH folks like myself.
Traders generally lose $ and are disloyal to the principle of supporting the stock to help folks with ALZ.
