re: short volume, I tend to believe that the MM's can see a drop coming, say at .40 cents today ;-) and start selling shares they do not even have to start the downtrend, thus helping to create panic selling where they know later on they can buy back shares at a much lower price, only an opinion - people post those numbers all over ihub and MMS can and do sell shares they do not even have all the time and just buy them back later and such, but what do I know - just an opinion :-) on to next week!
