IMO, the Company is too fundamentally sound and will soon have too much institutional backing to be "killed" by a short entity. Any misinformation that might be released in a widely distributed public format promoting an agenda (a SA article, for instance) would likely be dispelled quickly.
Dan noted that the last time his shares were borrowed it occurred in the period of December-February. Looking at the chart, it doesn't take a genius to see that the stock made a major upward move in that period. Any attempt to go short then probably didn't end well.
Maybe the financiers are making a last-gasp effort to keep a lid on the SP, possibly in conjunction with some enabling MMs, in an attempt to recoup some losses. (Wouldn't it just be easier to load up and go long?)
To me it all sounds like a losing proposition, and not one to be genuinely concerned about from a long investor's risk perspective. If anything, the tremendous interest in this stock should make a move on news that much more pronounced if shorts have to chase the ask to cover.
If I were offered payment to allow a fund to borrow my shares and go short on this, I probably wouldn't take it - conflict of true interest. To each his or her own.
