In this FAST paced, ultra DYNAMIC world we confront, we can ONLY HOPE that what you've stated above DOES evolve.
The Hedge Fund SHORTS, not at all surprising to me, are GANGING UP just as they did in FALL 2015 to make money by SHORTING everything they can: they have a GUARANTEED rate of return IMHO as they know who the institutional players are in every stock that Neil Woodford Funds OWNS! Just because Neil Woodford HAD to curtail those disclosures publicly to HIS fund holders is TOO LITTLE TOO LATE IMHO! Hedge Fund shorts keep track of EVERYTHING!
TOO MANY even Larry Smith (a few years ago I stated here: Way too LATE in his career to recognize the existence of Illegal Market Manipulating Naked Shorts)BELATEDLY recognized that IS a MAJOR factor in Emerging Biotechs. Larry Smith has followed Biotechs since 1983 when as Director of Research for Smith Barney it underwrote the $40 mln AMGEN IPO in 1983! https://www.amgenhistory.com/
So too many UNDER ESTIMATED THE SHREWDNESS let alone what leverS those DARK NEFARIOUS DEEP POcKETED & HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL FORCES CAN EFFECTUATE.
It is what I term the ugly EXTREMES of CAPITALISM which we see in SPADES around the world.
Luckily for me I saw this and have posted this ad nauseam to little effect:
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
That is only part of the reason I sold not far from the top! It had to do with what I and only RKMasters as LONGS had in common: selling near the top but for different reasons.
