Ha!! Too funny!!! find me just ONE EXAMPLE of your hypothetical company that is listed on the Prelim Russell deletes list that has/had what LWLG has today as follows,
1) 20 MILLION SHARES SHORTED
2) ALMOST 20 MILLION SHARES HELD BY VANGUARD AND BLACKROCK COMBINED
You can't do it because it DOESN'T EXIST except in your warped mind!!!!! LWLG is owned almost 90% by RETAIL INVESTORS who will NEVER give Shorts a volume capitulation!!!!! It will be the Shorts that will be forced to capitulate with a Short Squeeze!!!!
So again, here's how it will play out for the Shorts and you better pray for Scenario #1 teddybear!!!!
Shorts best hope is SCENARIO #1 of these only two possible scenarios, in either case it would be in the best interest of the Shorts to Cover all the shares they can right now ahead of EITHER of these two scenarios playing out
Scenario #1 after Yves inks a Tier 1 deal or two in the next 2 months before final decisions, and the PPS moves up to the $3-$5 range before the final decisions day of adds/deletes that LWLG will not be deleted
Scenario #2 let's say LWLG would be a delete from the index, everybody here knows that it was the Institutions (read Vanguard & Blackrock who don't like to lose!!) that LOANED the shares to the Shorts!!! So do you really think the Institutions are going to be the ones to take the hit dumping their shares at rock bottom prices to aid the criminal Shorts? NO WAY!!! Here's what would happen, the Institutions would call back their loaned shares and watch as the Shorts try and find 20 million shares to Cover, good luck with that!!!! this is why it has held 100% true that the Shorts would never get a volume capitulation from the Longs!!! the criminal Shorts and MM's have been using low volume high frequency manipulation games here routinely for many months!!! So only after the Shorts be forced to Cover by the Institutions driving the share price higher, and then the Institutions would be able to sell their shares unharmed!! That's the way it would work, so Shorts better hope LWLG is NOT going to be a deletion!!!
How quickly would the Shorts be forced to Cover in the event of Scenario #2? from AI on the topic here
General Timeframes:
While there's no strict regulatory standard for recall notice periods, here are some general expectations:
Short Notice (Urgent Recall): In some situations, especially due to client sales, short sellers might only receive notice within the trading day or be required to return the shares by the next day. This can lead to forced buy-ins if the short seller cannot locate shares quickly.
Standard Recall: For less urgent reasons, the notice period is typically a few business days (e.g., 2-5 days). This allows the short seller some time to repurchase the shares in the market.
Longer Notice (Less Common): In certain circumstances, the notice period could be longer, but this is less typical for standard recalls.
Important Considerations for Short Sellers:
Recall Risk: Short sellers always face the risk that the borrowed shares will be recalled. This is an inherent risk of short selling and should be factored into their trading strategy
Again, GOOD LUCK to the Shorts on purchasing 20 MILLION Shares in the open market once the FORCED CALL BACK of the loaned shares by Institutions (Vanguard & Blackrock) occurs!!!
