Indeed, small PIs are the people losing out here by being spooked, I think the rationale goes something like:
1. TW's associates initiate large short positions, this starts a slide in the SP when the shares are sold
2. TW release the podcast to coincide with this
3. Individual PIs are concerned the rumours are true and sell out or trim back positions which adds to the SP slide
Remember this share can move a lot on low volumes, large spread and no selling of shares by management which hold ~30-40% - precisely the reason why this share is a good target for shorters!
Last time TW did this it took a while for the SP to rise again, this is party due to Trak's policy of staying silent on comments etc. Not a bad policy but it just means we will have to wait until an RNS is issued or the results come out for the SP to rise again.... a remain vote will also help turn round Trak's sp and shares in general I think
