I think I've made my opinion on Short sellers(in particular those who short sell individual companies to screw the little guy) well known. But I guess there's no harm in stating it again.See that on the crapper as well?
(ball) Sackman posted it yesterday morn and was going back n forth with him yesterday cause I posted this over there in response
He tried to dismiss as not related to Plato vid but my point was it was founded on shorting. Apparently couldn't follow my logic
Kinda like this guy as backs up opinion with supporting logic unlike (ball) Sackman.

Why would he choose to publish this negative post now that the BRN share price decline seems to have bottomed?
While I know how the mechanics of shorting work, it is not something I've ever been interested in attempting with my limited knowledge of investment techniques. Even if I had said experience, there are two reasons I wouldn't want to consider it. First, I am not one to invest in someone else's loss. Second, being at the wrong end of the trade could be a financial disaster for the person doing the shorting.Think we’ve found one of the larger BRN shorters …..Plato funds management.
concerning that out of their universe of 10,000 global stocks to potentially short, Brainchip have the second most number of red flags (22 red flags) & Dr David Allen openly confirms they are one of Plato’s bigger shorts.
Extract
There are a lot of red flags on the ASX right now
Allen and his team have recently identified a higher average number of red flags per stock in Australia compared with other countries around the world. He's steadfast that he's not bearish on Australia, in general, but recommends investors avoid a "blind index approach".
Of the 10,000 companies in the Fund's investment universe, one Australian company has 22 red flags - Brainchip Holdings (ASX: BRN).
He also points to Weebit Nano (ASX: WBT) as another Australian-listed short in the portfolio - which he notes, has a valuation of more than $1 billion but makes "zero revenue".

I'm on Commsec at the moment and it doesnt say FPO
They changed it in 2020. Can view it on the browser but not on mobile I think.
.... all good! i refreshed it again and came back to normally
IMO ...it will be most interesting to see what actually happens with the ASX once the gov't regulator fully investigates as to why the ASX didn't proceed on with the "Blockchain" technology given that they had spent well over ~$ 200million on it .........hmmm ?????? !!!!! . I was under the impression that the blockchain technology potentially had the ability to curb Stock Manipulation, Shorts, Bots, ...etc etc
Fully Paid Ordinary??
Hi Rob, thanks that's what I thoughts also, I've refreshed it and came good (back to normal). so I'll just assume it was a quirk in the system this morning.
We do have one link to Imec. But maybe a bit of a stretch.And it looks like imec is hungry for the digital SNN pie after all:
(PDF) SENeCA: Scalable Energy-efficient Neuromorphic Computer Architecture
PDF | SENeCA is our first RISC-V-based digital neuromorphic processor to accelerate bio-inspired Spiking Neural Networks for extreme edge applications... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on ResearchGatewww.researchgate.net
“SENeCA is our first RISC-V-based digital neuromorphic processor to accelerate bio-inspired Spiking Neural Networks for extreme edge applications inside or near sensors where ultra-low power and adaptivity features are required. SENeCA is optimized to exploit unstructured spatio-temporal sparsity in computations and data transfer. It is a digital IP, that contains interconnected Neuron Cluster Cores, with a RISC-V-based instruction set, an optimized Neuromorphic Co-Processor, and an event-based communication infrastructure. SENeCA improves state of the art by Addressing the flexibility issue in neuromorphic processors by allowing a fully programmable neuron model and learning/adaptivity algorithms; Improving the area efficiency by employing a 3-level memory hierarchy which allows using novel embedded memory technologies; Efficient deployment of advanced learning mechanisms and optimization algorithms by accelerating neural operations in three data types: int4, int8 and BrainFloat16; Efficient event communication by using a new Network-on-Chip with multicasting, a compression mechanism, and source-based routing. The implemented digital IP can be tuned for different applications to have a flexible number of cores and Neural Processing Elements (NPEs) per core and optional use of off-chip memory. Next to the hardware, the SENeCA platform includes an SDK and a hardware-aware simulator for close-loop synthesis/mapping optimization 1.”
Interestingly, one of the paper’s authors, Gert-Jan van Schaik (from imec the Netherlands, Eindhoven), shares the same surname with André van Schaik, Director of WSU’s International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems. Maybe our Dutch or Flemish posters can tell us whether or not it is a common surname? Possibly the two of them are related?
He would’ve been correct to start 2021, at the commencement of the aggressive rate hike cycle and rotation from growth into value. At the same time the “current leaders became the best shorts” is a traders staple in a bear market.
Probably trying to get a bit more time to cover shorts.
I believe the problem for him starts when sp goes down from 60 cents into 40 cents. There was a big short during that period. Now he is not getting enough quantity of shares to cover his shorts. The price is recovering and he is not getting enough to cover. If the sp goes over 60 cents without major volumes the shorts are in trouble.
