This is why in my opinion shorting the market should be completely illegal.A single short position can be multiplied in theory to infinity.
I part explained this yesterday:
1. Short A approaches Institution B and borrows 12 million shares.
2. Short A approaches Institution C and sells the borrowed 12 million shares off market as a Cross Trade to Institution C.
3. Short D approaches Institution C and borrows those same 12 million shares.
4. Short D approaches Institution E and sells those 12 million shares off market in a cross trade to Institution E.
5. Short F approaches Institution E. and borrows those 12 million shares.
So at transaction 5. the original 12 million shares have opened 36 million short positions that need to be bought back.
This type of activity is what can create the necessity to manipulate inexperienced retail with fear into panicked selling to create sufficient liquidity to buy back positions without creating a squeeze.
This is where they join together with a common purpose to infiltrate social media, the press and the financial advice industry to scalp the unsuspecting retail holder.
I have said before in my opinion retail do not have what is necessary to play in the shark pool so the only way to survive is stay out of the water, do your own research, have a plan and let time in the market work it’s magic.
My opinion only DYOR

Charlie Munger says: 'you don’t make money when you buy a stock, you don’t make money when you sell a stock, you make money by being patient and you make money by waiting'. Waiting for the right pitch, and then waiting for that pitch to kind of mature and develop. The single most important skill set that you can bring to value investing is patience. You have to have a temperament where you're very happy watching paint dry. I would say that is the most difficult thing for investors and you can trade lot of IQ points for patience. You don’t need a lot of IQ points but you need a lot of patience. That’s the piece that usually gets missed." Mohnish PabraiA single short position can be multiplied in theory to infinity.

I may have let my passion momentarily overwhelm me and apologise if any have taken offence....well at least some very bad karma. Imploded schemes would be very satisfying.
I really think you are right:Here is something to think about!
Argo Ai shut down 4 days ago. Most news outlets headlines alluded to its demise as the end of self driving cars.
Ford was part owner of Argo and Ford is linked to BRN.
Could it be by dint of association that BRN was tainted with the same brush as Argo.
BRN's sell down has been extreme, unwavering and beyond rational.
If the above is correct, a possible press release by BRN distancing themselves from ARGO AI could be a master stroke.

I'm not sure I'd describe genuine concerns over shorting activity/clear SP manipulation on a daily basis as a conspiracy theory.Hi all, a challenging period for sure.
Whilst I love a conspiracy as much as the next person it seems pretty clear to me that the price response is a natural reaction to the decrease in perceived product value. At this stage of development the market cap includes significant speculative value which is simply being eroded by an impatient and volatile market. Traders have built positions on this basis forever and will not revert until a series of events occur to shift projections. The old adage ‘if you are not bullish you’re bearish’ is very relevant here.
Let’s see what comes. Over to you BrainChip.
Cheers.

So your hypothesis is that the "decrease in perceived product value" was an instantaneous response to the 4C?Hi all, a challenging period for sure.

I think this is a contributing factor for BRN being oversold. Have a look at the attachment from Sirod69's post 177532 in particular the share price of all the companies in the self driving cars segment.Has it been posted before,
Ford reins in hopes for self-driving cars as Argo AI shuts down
Ford Motor Co. on Wednesday reported third-quarter results that beat expectations, but forecast full-year adjusted profit at the low end of its expectations.www.marketwatch.com
Me too.I have been buying and not sold any.
If the price continues to fall I will buy more.
I believe in the Company and the product.
What other people do is their business.

Given management has announced 2020 that they are evaluating Akida for the adas & autonomous vehicle applications, I assume they are still evaluating given there was no further announcements relating to ford...I think this is a contributing factor for BRN being oversold.

Autonomous Driving Stocks Decline, Argo AI shuts down, CARIAD Software Delays Porsche EV, Qualcomm Might Win Big In Vegas
Dear Reader, Last week, the story broke that Argo AI is shutting down: The AV/robotaxi startup co-owned by Volkswagen and Ford will be partially resorbed into the two OEMs' ADAS teams, as both of them seemingly abandon their Level 4 efforts in favor of better L2/L3 systems for consumer vehicles.

You are correct, I'm not suggesting anything has changed between BRN and Ford. I'm only saying that the market has lumped BRN with the rest of the start-ups specialising in autonomous driving and punished it's share price because they are wanca's.Given management has announced 2020 that they are evaluating Akida for the adas & autonomous vehicle applications, I assume they are still evaluating given there was no further announcements relating to ford...
