RE: Crazy manipulation - ArtArt,
Fully agree with you. With regards to short selling in Canada:
"Short sales may be made only if the price of the most recent trade in that security on the particular market is either equal to or higher than the price of the immediately previous trade in that security." So they simply load up the ask side, then the ask with a small order and then short. I believe its the same in the U.S.
Looking at trades yesterday there was ~200K shares that traded under $7 and as you see in small chunks from the non-main investors. Not very significant in my opinion. I'm holding until they are either taken out OR they go to production....unless I get the $20 per share now
P.S. Do you know anything about XE.V, a spec play in Namibia? Any thoughts would very much be appreciated.
Good Luck and thanks for the great info you provide!
