Interesting point.
Yep , total volume 7/29 thru 8/12 = 665,718.
Amazing that half of that volume would be short covering , but that's certainly the case.
Closing price on 7/28 was 7.03 and close on 8/12 was 7.17 , not much of a push upwards , although there was one day with higher trade prices as I noted in my earlier post.
I suppose a blockbuster-news driven runup in price might get more exciting?
