So why would a company reporting another round of record earnings drop by fifteen percent? As the headlines question the cause and others debate how such a move is possible, the answer is actually quite easy. It's the short interest.
For months we've speculated how the growing short interest of the Spectrum stock would play out on the open market, regardless of how promising returns on revenue were becoming. The "squeeze" that was becoming apparent as revenues grew manufactured a high of well over seventeen dollars as new shorts continued to jump on board. It's easy to get roped into the theory that shares of a feel-good story are going to keep rising as long as the story stays good, but it's also important to take note of the power of the big boys - sometimes the shorts win.
Sunshine Heart (SSH): It has been a solid couple of months for Sunshine Heart. The company last week received FDA approval to utilize its "next-generation" C-Pulse device in patients undergoing treatment as a part of the North American feasibility trial and also for future patients in a pivotal trial geared towards FDA approval expected to start later this year.
TrovaGene Inc (TROV): TrovaGene is another company whose shares have slipped recently, but should be watched as the company may be developing breakthrough diagnostics tests that could identify cancer and other diseased through urine, the most non-intrusive means to date to detect such ailments. TROV's technology identifies in a urine specimen specific transrenal DNA and RNA originating from normal and diseased cell death to achieve its goals.
Amarin Corporation (AMRN): Amarin's second quarter numbers and comments are on the street, and while no surprises were evident, investors will continue to key in on a few words that may hint at an anticipated buyout or large partnership. The commercialization update provided for Vascepa will include, according to company comments:
An acquisition of Amarin, a strategic collaboration, or self-commercialization, the latter of which could include third-party support.
