Some have asked why I decided to hold my $SRNEQ position through a delisting to the OTC, a company who just filed bankruptcy?
Holding nearly $1Billion in warrants, for starters, INSTANTLY gives a value much higher than the current $0.30pps.
AND Institutional SH’s didn’t bail. https://t.co/iIrcp6juKE— pronounced: 🦉🐝 (@ItsStillMeAlby) February 25, 2023

Didn't $SRNEQ just file for bankruptcy and delist to the OTC??
Weird how this market works nowadays.
MAYBE there actually IS something more to this play and the nearly- $ 1 billion in assets?? It's being suggested the CEO has set a trap against those shorting his company. pic.twitter.com/v4PFoLolbI— pronounced: 🦉🐝 (@ItsStillMeAlby) February 26, 2023
