Of course they need to cover the MASSIVE NAKED SHORT position. For some reason they have decided to stop shorting this. The problem is so big for them it's apparent from all the attention this stock gets from the dark side....LOL to obvious.
The shorts would never just start covering and draw attention for no reason.
They will try to hide their covering once the company puts out news that products will be back in the stores and production has started and it can be verified.
