Here is a very simple fact. If Torvec ever has a substantial commercializing event. The demand for the stock will blow the "shorts" out of the water. In fact the more shorts there are the faster the price will go up under those circumstances. The question still remains if the management can make that happen. I'm guessing no unless they make some additional changes to the board. I still can't figure out why most of them are even on the board.
Based on your reply here it is obvious this is not your field of expertise. I really can't follow what you see saying here. I am much more likely to believe someone that went out and asked the right people the right questions. The blame game is really old. Don't blame the shorts for anything. Blame management for the low stock price.
