So I didn't realize what this stock was going through until about 2 weeks ago. After doing some research, it definitely has a massive short squeeze written all over it. At the least, it's new leadership and restructuring and consensus is that there is plenty room to grow. With 5 days left. Short interest remains extremely high at roughly 35-38% of the public float. Still one of the most heavily shorted stocks on Nasdaq.

Many shorts are likely underwater after the recent run. Any positive earnings update, news, asset sale, or analyst upgrade could force another wave of covering.

I grabbed a few hundred and monitoring...

Thoughts? 🤔
