Remember these are the biggest traders in the stock and control the price in the absence of NEWS. There is $700 million on the short side of IOC, and these same people are not used to losing, because of their trading clout, as you saw today. There are a few that escape this short web, and IOC has the ingredients to be one of them. We'll see, but I've been in this game before and it's nasty and is rank manipulation. Hello, SEC
Concurr Trans and have for quite sometime.It would be very odd that pre binary event you would see such a huge short vs float %. Ive seen higher short%, but rarely this high a % of free float. It is a sign to me that he short fear index on IOC is quite low. That in conjunction with the low volume and 5% downtrend this past week, lead to believe shorty is not too worried
Ive been castigated for empowering the shorts by exaggerating their prominance. But my contention is, has been and will be that they can steer the PPS where they want, at their beckoning. A SD will check that ability, but they wont go away, and I doubt we will see a biug squeeze that has a lasting effect. I still contend a much more modest PPS appreciation than some.
I'm prepared for a good deal, Ive waited, Ive discarded conventional wisdom.....blow my socks off with a blockbuster deal. You have set me up for that mgmt. So im locked and loaded, Blow me away with a killer deal.,,,, A deal sire...I beg of thee a deal.
