ukiyo...the short cover...could be a HUGE CATALYST. Please see posts by imperativity for a look at how major this short position could be. Just look at the percentage short sell numbers! Perhaps imperativity can update the numbers that he's gathered...

So, as you can see; on days we have a PR, usually on Thursdays (with today's being Friday) we get more volume and thus more shorting of our stock, which usually starts off heavy on Friday, and then averages around 38% shorted through Wednesdays. Then a new PR comes or is expected, and we start all over again. Until, that is, we get that "one PR" that changes the game.

I think that we've received that "one PR"...! :)
