Well actually if you played this stock correctly shorting is not the only way to make money. And it was an easy read because VRNM has laid out the plan.
I admit I first learned of VRNM back in March this year so missed the drop from dollars, but I was able to purchase at .20. I then sold late June at .75 cents due to an email I received from IR stating DOE news would not come out for 4-6 months. (I am guessing you have not gained 250% on your shorting investment) Then they annonced the R/S and I knew they needed $$$ so and offering was due soon. A moron could have figured out what would happen then, and that would be overeaction and the price declining. Now is the time to buy for the next run up. (another 100%) Yes I could have made money shorting but I just don't play that side of the market.
For you to say this company is running on nothing but Hype shows me how much research you have acctually done. R&D companies take on DEBT and this is where all of VRNM debt came from. They have hundreds of patents and Tech that other companies want. (see news today for an example) They have a strong partner in BP and a future full of Government mandates requiring billions of gallons of Cellulosic ethanol to be made. That debt will be erased in no time once they get up and running.
Play the small gains shorting on this one or you will be burnt with a 100% up day. Small float = wild swings on news such as DOE loan approval. The risk in shorting this is just as strong as going long. I choose long because the goods out weight the bads at this time.
