They are not the same because without available shares to short its very easy to recognize there is stuff overpriced in the market and the open market can’t do anything about it because the sellers are limited and they control the ask.

This is absolutely not true of a price that’s “too low”. Anyone, including you, can go hit those asking prices and start to load up. There is also capped downsize risk (as opposed to uncontrolled risk in a short).

This is all to say that it’s possible that company could be worth $9-10/share, but based on all of the information publicly available today, there are effectively tens of thousands of people each swinging billions in capital than are parking it in stuff providing 5% return rather than the 20000% you suggest is there.

So this tells me that you are just much more hopeful for the future of the company than the current financial projections and prospects support.
