I'm NOT, repeat NOT making a comment against the INNOCENT company, and not making ANY comment on the value of the company or its growth. In the end this won't affect the longs who bought a while ago and if I'm right it will be pain for just a short time as the company itself is good and will rise. Again: I'm a complete noob as far as $TEUM goes and have NO deeper knowledge, just sharing what I'm thinking and/or seeing ...
A few remarks:
- The Chairman has a habit of releasing letters to shareholders, this one came when the rally had already taken the stock from $1.50 to $3.80 or so, so he's not doing the pumping.
- Actually, the only one who's doing any "pumping" is SHU, that is, us. I've seen few other recent bullish articles. And SHU started only when the shares were at $2.50 or so.
- Our "pumping" is based on data, which can be verified, and on inferences regarding to stuff like valuation, which can also be verified, even if one might disagree with the conclusions.
- The short position is sizable, but it's not uncommon for a stock after such a rally. Twilio also has a sizable short position, as it happens.
In short, I see very little "pump" going on, there has been considerable "dump" when the short count went up, but that got overwhelmed by buyers, and for good reason. Even in the least optimistic scenario the company will do $100M+ in revenue this year, trading at 4x sales while backlog is exploding.
That is, nothing to see here, IMHO.
No matter how clear one tries to be, things get lost in translation.
I am ABSOLUTELY ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT SURE that neither the Chairman, nor Parateum nor US (or SU in this case ... 
) are "Pumping." REALLY I MEAN it. I am IN NO WAY suggesting that. From things I've read here, there and places on the net, I am merely noting I am a little concerned BAD ACTORS, people who ... how can I put it delicately ... are leeches on the main healthy body ... may leap in here and pull a P&D. TAKING ADVANTAGE of the Letter and the coming good news. I am so appreciative of this forum and how much I have learned, that I felt obligated to "Show my math" in effect as, having asked questions here, I am merely sort of explaining why I can't just say "$TEUM Long" when posting. YET. Just looking for a good price to get in and have shown up trying to decide before or after tomorrow and deciding to wait a bit is my perspective - could well be epic fail I completely concede!
