I think the shorts are probably a little more on his radar than in the past as it does impact the share price and Peter needs to get the share price up for the NASDAQ listing. So it is kind of good news for all of us and I know it used to drive Maple Syrup crazy whenever Peter mentioned in the past that he did not care about the share price (wait for it...good morning MS one of your favorite topic is been talked about:)).
Anyway many of these shorts are supported by negative press or commentary at various sites...Seeking Alpha.
So right now one of Peter’s big goals is to move the share price higher. In the process I believe he intends to crush the shorts and cause a short squeeze to help him with that goal.
