RB.
Your're out of your depth if you think because retail investors can't short a stock there can't be a short position in play.
Over 10bn shares were traded yesterday. MMs were very happy to sell shares they didn't have due to the 1.8bn shares being released by EHGO but they've overdone it. They hoped the retail investors would offload their stock into the afternoon bloodbath. But not enough did. No new placing shares available until next months tranche but accounts need to be settled before then.
MMs don't like holding large short positions without a near term bailout.
They will take XXX,XXX,XXX shares all day at these levels on or above bid but will only release an occasional X,XXX,XXX to try to hide the fact they don't have any stock to sell.
They will need to considerable up their prices to create a balanced market and the more people get wind they're struggling, the less likely they will sell.
If ICON board sit this out. The SP could be considerably higher for the next tranche of funding.
