Very good explanation but... there is one major problem here. Who would give their hard earned money to this company at this point in time?
This is a company of one. One unpaid CEO. There are no employees. There's no money. There's no current business. They have never had audited financials. They have more current lawsuits than movies streaming. The CEO has no expertise in the streaming video space. He has a habit of starting but never finishing things he starts and is drowning in debt due to default legal judgements.
And one factoid that no one likes to talk about... 8M (really 5.6M) will not get them around the 2rd turn before running out of gas.
Maybe the charade could have worked in 2012 when they come up with the idea of launching a video streaming portal; but not today.
Daily volume & MM short-interest percentages: UPDATED: Note the daily volume & short interest. Shares the MM didn't have in inventory to make the trade at the time, and went short on. That's not unusual. But it's usually around 20% and temporary.
Pay attention to the %'s. Usually, a sporadic 20-30% short interest rate from time-to-time is rather normal. Since during the course of the trading day, the MM might not have shares in inventory for an investor to buy; so he'll go short (execute the order, without possessing the shares) the trade.
Below the running totals.
A cumulative look at the rolling short interest in HHSE: CUMULATIVE UPDATED: Despite the recent 70% price appreciation over the past month, the MM is NOW running a 65.84% short (or 'borrow') rate! Meaning that for 65.84% of the cumulative trades he's executed over this period? He did NOT have the shares in his inventory!
This is NOT sustainable. The MM may be forced to run the stock higher. Why? In hopes of accumulating some shares that he owes to balance his books. But, if the shareholders who hold the stock don't sell: The MM is forced to go higher still. That's irrespective of any short interest, hedge funds, fund managers, ECN traders, others 'going short',etc.
I usually scan stocks for a minimum of 35-40% shares short trending over a LONG period of time. I find those stocks do well for me. HHSE has been WELL OVER 50% every day since July 9th.
The MM is price-biased now. He hopes to find shares higher because his borrow RATE isn't under control. And the more buying volume (DEMAND) that comes in, the more this pressures the price of the stock higher.
The BULLS appear to be in control here. If they don't liquidate, sell, or distribute, the stock is likely to go MUCH HIGHER! Let's keep an eye on this daily short data & see how it trends.
*Also, note: Multiple confirmations were posted to this thread regarding the TA. So far, board posters long the stock have said that the Transfer Agent has historically been ungagged. Meaning anyone can call & request the share structure for the company. I have double-checked. The TA is not only ungagged, but the share structure remains untouched & unchanged. The stock remains a BUY with more upside price appreciation likely as these conditions persist.
