Mind Technologies, Inc. Confronts Improper Short Positions
CARDIFF, Calif., Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Mind Technologies, Inc. (http://mindtechnologiesinc.com) (Pink Sheets: JEDM), announced this morning that after a preliminary review and examination of trade reports, it has become apparent that the stock of Mind Technologies is under pressure from short sellers. Management is actively seeking a solution for the problem through a variety of means. While short selling is common in the micro caps, the source of the short selling is important to discover.
"Market makers can and will sell short shares of micro cap stocks but they typically cover their positions by the end of the day," said Brent Fouch, CEO and President of Mind Technologies, Inc. "The numbers that we are seeing from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) indicates short positions are being generated and not covered. We are going to get to the bottom of it and solve the problem. Our company is doing very well and it has mystified us as to why the stock continues to go down," Fouch continued.
A ticker symbol change from "JEDM" to a new ticker symbol will occur in the near future to reflect the business and name of Mind Technologies, Inc.
"We are looking at ways of restructuring our stock to force coverage of the short positions and the change in the ticker symbol may just be the start of what we have to do to win this battle. It is not fair to our company or our shareholders to have stock sold into the marketplace that does not exist," Fouch concluded.
