Remember the shorts that drove it down from $1.75 to 0.80? They covered hard and fast at the end of November on "no specific news".
They drove it down again from February 12th onward. They are now covering (again) in light of the upcoming earnings report rather than risk being blown out of the water by an update on PPHM's Sept. 2012 sabotage by BP.
It's that simple folks.
