One other thought, ororico. Perhaps if the insiders and the board of directors were to come together as a group and buy up a substantial number of shares, it might cause some of the shorts to reconsider their positions, not knowing what was going on.

It would also bring me back into the stock, adding shares. As I've said before, if they're not buying in the face of continuing good news and at such give-a-way prices, neither am I. Must be encouraging to some of the shorts to see such a general lack of interest in some of the PMs by so many investors.
