Now you're talking Iggy....this is no longer about the science or market place of ideas bs; At the end of the day as this has played out it's obviously become a high stakes Insider's game and that is the naked, ugly truth. Perhaps DOC developed a spine and wouldn't play ball and his removal speaks well of his ethics in hindsight. Who knows, still quite the mystery there. But ultimately, YES: give Adage what they want and they will play ball, it is in all our interests at this point as in essence we are being held hostage at these valuation levels and they are the one's holding gun.

Iggy, personally I would be totally on board with that. The shorts won big. Now I just want them to be able to collect their check at the cashiers window and leave town.

And in fairness to Tinfoillurker, this is what he suggested in the summer that this is what Adage and others wanted all along.

Even if what Tin suggested wasn't entirely accurate, there was a kernel of truth to be gleaned from his suggestion. Namely that Adage and others...or whatever entity or entities that took the short position from 3M to 10M between June 2015 and October 2015...was stuck in a major short position and were struggling to find enough shares to cover it and flip back net long as ADXS began to approach key commercialization milestones in 2018.

So regardless of whether there were any actual backroom discussions on this "Get Out of Jail For Free" card or not, the reality appears like Adage (or some other hedge fund or funds) has violently crashed the PPS into the ground so they could start to cover in volume.

Again, the next could of short reports should be very insightful.
