$AIFF
Extremely low liquidity — average volume is thin, so even modest sustained buying can force short covering and create sharp upside moves.
• Historically elevated borrow costs (often 70–100%+ annualized in prior months) and intermittently tight share availability indicate the stock has been hard-to-borrow at times.
• Low institutional ownership (~8–16%) and a retail-heavy float increase the chance of momentum-driven covering.
• Recent positive operational updates (291% YoY rise in TMS center brain scan volumes announced early August, PTSD biomarker discovery, Department of War partnership, and a large proprietary EEG/ERP database) provide potential catalysts.
