GB, don't be surprised if the short position is not reported.
RBC has done a lot of odd lot trades and they also use NEO, they may claim they are a market maker and therefore can use the short exemption rule and not report it.
I agree there is a short position and the run up and down had all the foot prints of shorting, a lot of Anonymous selling and some jitney trades.
Remember these shorts, market makers what ever you like are disciplined professional traders. They bank on the emotional trading of retail investors like most or everyone here to profit from.
Shorting a stock and driving down on very good news is a typical play they execute. This creates frustration and disappointment among retail traders “the emotion” . Many of you here have mentioned these very emotions.
The shorts are counting on retail investors to sell on their emotions so they profit on the short position. I encourage everyone to hold positions, or even buy or bids above the short bid. Do not fall victim to your emotions and their manipulative game.
Put you emotions aside and look at the facts and valuation. I could get into these but most here known them. That was an excellent drill hit that most juniors dream about. It was the best news in Zonte's history
Make the shorts pay up. There is no stronger rally than a short covering rally when they lose control of profit and buy to avoid large large losses. Short positions can lose a lot of money quickly. The short position has a probable average around 34 cents. If the stock moves to 68 cents, that is 100% loss on their position. They know how it can go against them and will buy back quickly on a move higher.
And besides all that, if they don't make a profit on this short position, or get burned, they will likely not short on the next drill news and run higher. They will move on to easier victims
