@dingle what more information do you need to gather after you've read the many comments such as these from madamswer

"When the science is bringing in the cash (not on a one-off basis, but on a sustainable, recurring basis), that's when I will join you as a shareholder"?

"Yes, indeed, short-selling is very dangerous which is why I - as someone with an aversion to investing in situations in which there exists a risk of permanent capital impairment - do not do so. "
