3) MD believes strongly that his stock has been beaten down by naked shorts and wants to catch them with their pants down.
Are you kidding me? There is nothing happening with shorting on this stock and certainly there is no one to catch with their pants down here.
It is all at the link below. I really hope MD was drunk or sunstroked when he made this crazy thought known to you without checking the very public records for short interest positions. It takes less then a minute or two with a decent internet connection.
Two guys shooting the crap over a bottle of cheap scotch is one thing but attributing this to what I think is a trustworthy CEO of a solid startup is another and sows doubts in my mind. (Not about MD by the way.)
If it is true.... It does not make me happy to know he can't figure this one out or that he has nobody that understands this around him. You should have known enough to correct this immediately and then never have talked about it again.
