CLCT stock down 9.13% today

[jhs5120]

I actually sold my stock on 5/29 because of this.

Short it. More room to fall in my opinion as word spreads.

It's not the shorts, the borrow actually increased from Friday and the borrow rate remains at 2%. Also, we are talking just about 1MM market value traded today, too small to make it count for the book. This is just retail selling. But it has the same affect/pressure!

On something like this I would defer to investment professionals who understand the risks and advantages of shorting and the dynamics of a particular security, I wouldn't do it just as a casual investor who thinks based on some message board activity the stock is going down. People who do stuff like that get eaten alive. Now a professional may well evaluate all the facts and say yeah it's a good risk, just saying it's complicated.

A professional would look at it and say - its too small and event risk is not yet defined...

Are you nuts? You’d defer to an investment professional instead of shooting your fool mouth off about something you have no education or experience in? What is wrong with you?

I like how the quote resembles the "bring the pain" phrase.

You have more sense than the average investor trading on margin, at least in my personal experience.

Oh, how I hope to see NASDAQ delist CLCT at some point in the not too distant future.

Interesting to watch CLCT trade. It is amazing how 100 share lots can move this stock so easily.

These guys putting on their little short positions are just racing it lower and if they want to cover will race it right back up.

The bid ask spread on this stock makes it such a challenging trading stock.

It will be interesting to see what happens with this 2,700 share offer right here.

Y'all realize it's doubled since January? 9% down could be just profit taking. Wait the sky is falling

There was short pressure on the stock all day. Problem is it’s so thinly traded any selling pushed it down so don’t confuse a slightly elevated volume day with just retail selling. Hard to sell a lot when there’s no buyers and market makers won’t take volume.

Not a ton of stock available to borrow.

I see 1M available at MS. Im sure GS has similar size, its easy institutional borrow.
