"They aren't messin' around. They have switched (temporarily) from selling, that is shorting the shares to buying, to cover their acumulated short position or at least part of it. Notice how the bid remains stubbornly low even though the ask is only slightly higher.They are fishing for shares as cheap as possible so as to realize the greatest profit possible on their shorts."
Yep...and they've been messin' around on our dime like this for a while now. So I say get out of our boat and let it float! I just hope that not too many of the shares they've been playing with have come out of the hands of the unfortunate.
