well, if they are, I would hope so. Been trading pennies for years, had my hand in many of them. To this day I have never seen a moass from short covering. So I tend to be more realistic instead of hope.
But respect yours too. Another thing to look at, if there was that 20 LOC, don't you think management would have invoked a buyback and forced a massive short covering??? Why didn't management take advantage buying back at .0001???
