Actually the report shows that the consolidated short position has been kept to a minimum for a few months now. They keep their shorting and bashing activities going only to keep the share price down while they accumulate a long position. They are always making money when the share price goes down (short) as well as when the share price goes up (long). So to answer your question, Yes they see it coming and are preparing for it. Also they have no intentions to keep suppressing the share price for ever, since they will also be making money when the share price goes up. Providing they have accumulated a long position large enough to satisfy their appetite, all it will take is sufficient and sustained buying pressure, for them to let the share price go up.
