foxi, I'll add one more tidbit to this. For the past 4+ months we've been HELD to the 15 day/groundhog cycle, where they let it trade up a few pennies, but then use ghost shares to stop it dead in it's tracks. Then on days 13-15 (15 being finra short interest settlement date), they drive it down using less than 10% of the preceding 12 days volume, and cover (or at least try to cover, as we've learned recently there were 10M+ FTD's).
Wash + Rinse + Repeat
Now, that being said, the one factor that has changed over the past 20-30 days, is that the company has been dead silent. No PR's, news, etc... Usually, we'd be in the part of that 15-day cylcle where we'd be moving up right now through roughly next Monday, then Tues-Thursday would be the "takedown & cover" days. However, since the company has been so quiet and most are expecting some rather large PR's/announcements, I wouldn't doubt that those in control have flipped the script. In other words, they're using this week to take down and load, leading up to those big PR's announcements, as [they] won't risk having a naked position going into the upcoming PR's/News.
Just a thought....
