Good info on your post.
And yes, people may be setting themselves or others up for some major disappointment. I hope not though.

If 2.8M O/S after R/S, then effec. 14B presplit
O/S was the correct #. How do we know that this 14B O/S # is accurate presplit? Has this been verified? Many other stocks that trade at .0001, have 40-50-60B O/S. In being in AWBV prior to reverse split, could never get a straight answer from Don or the T/A on what the O/S count was.

If the 14B O/S count presplit is accurate, then yes, some mistakes were made by brokers on behalf of retail traders on tuesday, and longs became shorts by error. However, after that, everyone knew what happened including the brokers. So what % on wed, thurs and friday were shorts/naked shorts covering their positions, and what % was additional retail traders hopping on the band wagon after the fact. If you look at the majority of trades during the next 3days, most were for 3-5-10K share trades, driving the pps up to .21.

How many shares were purchased by brokers to cover their mistake short position from profit takers who bought on tuesday, and what is left to carry the pps upward?
