If the science is sound, and we're all here because we feel it is, then this company will be purchased, I think by Christmas. The price will be argued/determined by the future earnings the science will bring the suitor- Or one giant pharma might buy it so another can't have it-- Shouldn't concern yourself too much with stories of naked shorting--
Every stock on the BB is manipulated to a certain degree but I hope there are shorts because they are going to have to cover very soon. Do not sell because CYDY is a once in a lifetime investment.
