RE:RE:Manipulation
It has already happened in the past to prometic. An institution short sells. People with stop losses and panic sellers join to unwillingly assist. This time You could witness a software program selling a couple hundred of shares every minute or two in spurts. Now they hold the price and accumulate. Then they let the capitalism drive it up before the news release and make out like bandits. Sometimes other institutions buy in because they want a position and it runs.
