"Oakey, you're quite right about Alan's feelings concerning the shorters. He was steaming. Although, still pre-revenue, Ramin is also of the opinion that the price is significantly underdone for our stage of development, the main reason being that the company has been under attack from them for some time. Why?

Only one answer - to increase their holdings at the expense of intimidated retail shareholders".

The last sentence - I thought a shorter borrows the shares from XXXX then sells them - then buys them back and then returns them to XXXX. How do they increase their holdings at the expense of retail holders. Just wondering.
