Agreed. Another pump and dump loading in connection with dilution.

No more excuses around manipulation will be acceptable! The buck stops with LP.

Smitty, I believe that management does have a plan, and I think that they have thought it out well.   Unfortunately it starts with UK approval and that is taking longer than expected, but hopefully it is about to happen.  Of course another key is the EDEN Unit, and perhaps we will get an update on that in the near future as well. 
As an old IMGN investor I know that they operated in much the same way.   When told something was happening soon we found it sometimes meant over a year.  When quoting the CEO we'd spell it backwards NOOS.  He knew we were doing it, at one point he chatted with us and got in trouble with the SEC. for doing so.
My point is that many companies are little different from NWBO and some that are, like CVM, express their beliefs that their one drug, developed a few decades ago is the answer to a wide variety of diseases, only one in trials at a time.  After each failure they simply do a search and replace their PR's inserting a new disease that they feel equally certain they'll cure.
I think management is doing it right and while frustrating in time it will pay off well for longs.  Shorts who don't clear their positions are looking to get burned.

I'm curious: where did you get your figure for " 65+% of the volume yesterday was you guessed it, shares sold short."? If it were, how would they not would have swamped, the buyers?

FWIW, OBV shows +3M shares traded at the ask vs at the bid. A heavy imbalance in favor of buyers is needed to push the pps up at all, let alone up 40%. We've seen imbalances of +1-2M shares before and still only gained far less. Per you, 65% of volume was shorting and we went up 40%? You were kidding, right? Sounds like crazy talk to me.

If shorts aren't covering yet, so much the better, more fuel for the fire, if they have deep enough pockets from prior gains shorting to short like crazy on a day like today. I find it hard to believe they would not wait and watch it rise more while waiting for the longs to be exhausted before shorting again. That's if the longs actually do get easily exhausted after MHRA approval is announced. Though in the past we've seen the shorts really lean in with 10s of millions of shares when they feel highly confident. Will they still do after NW finally gets approved? I don't think the obsessive MB short voices here represent industrial strength shorts, but I reckon we'll have the chance to find out soon enough.
