Can't borrow? well then use intra day naked shorts. I don't believe those orchestrating the silence are aware of this. just my opinon, otherwise how could the stock be walked down like this?
I agree 100% trans. Legal? No. Accepted and done? Yes. Most of IOC trades are not done via NYSE. My contention is that at least 50% are dark pools existing outside USA. I'll also state again that I dont think the shorts are worried in the least about any squeeze. They have made 5 times as much money on the constant churn over the years than they would lose if IOC ever does a deal and PPS goes up $40. On top of that Id think they are somewhat hedged. Its been an Atm for years. A deal wont blow them up. All IMO.
