I'm not that experienced to give any sound advice. If you think moving the price up, give it a try. If aren't selling at a higher price, that to me means two things.
1. No one is selling. Which I doubt.
2. There are no more shares that they can short and get away with. Which appears to be the issue.
A 3rd possibility is that this is all a vast right wing conspiracy to get you, obama, and your little dog too.
