Maybe someone or some entity was covering their short position as well! I have read that the "short threshhold" is .027 and with the odds of some type of PR from Steve Sulja going up each day then If I were short I would strongly consider covering my short postion.
You don't know so to make a statement like "maybe they know SLJB's AFs are for real", is total speculation and there are a ton a maybes that could apply. I believe most here should be smart enough now to realize that one desn't by on the pump hype alone anymore. One buys on verifiable DD and information.
Easy, this stock is on a death spiral unless Steve pulls a rabbit out of his hat. I bet it was a short position being covered if that many shares were bought by someone.
