The IHUB total was over 50M, based on the holdings of something like 20 posters (WPO was keeping score). I think this was very credible (and you know that I am cynical by nature).
There are over 2000 other investors out there who we have not heard from.
My calculation is:
110M Alfie group 50M IHUB 30M Yahoo postings today (guesstimate) 100M other 2000 investors (at 50K each on average) 50M insiders undisclosed 40M family of insiders 50M BMAS
430M shares held 70M in float after 40M buyback
Short ratio is over 500 percent.
VWs was nowhere near this.
I am going to suggest that management issue a commemorative car sponge in honor of what is about to happen -- in the shape of a VW bug.
