Agree. I think the board are preparing us for some asset write downs, but would be very surprised if they do a low ball share issue, after all the director buying!
Reckon this looks oversold and picked up a few. K.

That absurd target price from Barclays last week looks more and more like a cynical attempt to bash the price here to help out the shorters who were suddenly looking very exposed. What's the betting they come out with a complete u-turn on it now the shorts have started to unravel? Disgusting.

The short position has dropped significantly in the last few days, back to where it was in late 2017,its always been above there ever since

re shorts getting stuffed--from bbc

But for now, he is disillusioned by what he sees as "market manipulation" directed against people like him. In addition to Robinhood and Interactive Brokers, several other trading platforms imposed restrictions.

"When ordinary people try to make money in a system where only rich traders can make money, that's what happens," he told the BBC.

"They support a capitalist free market only when it works for them. What we saw today was not a free market and it forced an awful lot of people to lose an awful lot of money."

Can't believe this disaster of a share that I should have got rid of years ago is the only blue one in my whole portfolio today...hopefully a good sign

One could call the game "burn the bears" – the bears being short-selling hedge funds who had bet last year that the share price had further to fall. They reckoned without a Reddit forum called r/WallStreetBets, where amateur traders gather, in this case to spot a daring counterattack – an uprising to propel the share price higher.

[our haven] 27/1/2021 15:28

Certainly no surprise that the price has recovered

[pepepepe73] 27/1/2021 14:46

@D1NGA, man I'm not short. I never short any stock, it's a dangerous game.

You must be more respectful

Regarding results, I sold BAB with nice profit.

I have nothing against BAB, but I think the uncertainty is gonna hurt this stock. That's all.

[d1nga] 27/1/2021 13:52

Pepe we get it, you're short but please realise nothing you post here is going to have any impact on this stock.

Go find something that has a mcap of less than 10m and try your nonsense there, you'll probably have better results...
