Anyone consider that the low volumes being traded may not be short sellers at all?
Perhaps those who bought the stock at $2.75 or so earlier this year may wish to take a loss for tax purposes. The final date for trades is Dec 23. The closer we get to that date, the more the price would fade. There may be those that sell early in December so they can repurchase their shares in early January prior to any release of news. They could be SOL though if news is released in the balance of December.
Just a thought, but it seems like a possibility.
