I wouldn't worry too much about this. The shorts could have many strategies. As kookiekook points out, could be a bet on poor earnings. The shorts could also be long the calls as a hedge. Just as some who are long the stock also have put options as a hedge.

It could also simply be momentum trading. A lot of traders will go long until they see a reversal, then sell and go short.

We look good here going into approval. The bigger the short position, the bigger the squeeze.

Reminds me of DNDN in 2006....advisory committee approves, FDA has never gone against an advisory committee recommendation. Retail goes all in but the short position grows and grows. FDA drops the bomb a week prior to PDUFA and before pre market even opens share price is down 75%.

FDA is a typical corrupt govt administration. Leaks,pay-offs,etc.

The DD done by Sheff and this board is nothing short of top notch but you always have the FDA factor that makes these plays scary.

That being said...against my better judgement I bought in today at 11 hoping for a short squeeze. Just once I would like to see them lose. GLTY Jim
