It's Math...not simple Math but algorithmsAll the big trading houses and even a lot of the young kids are using algorithms for trading. It can't be too hard. When Well goes into a cocooon and does not post any news for awhile the algorithms pick up on that and it starts shorting the stock. There are tell tale signs like when the bid and ask are for 1 or 2 units and they are lower than the current asking price. That is an algorithm using 2 accounts to push down the price.
For WELL back in August the stock went down 10% in price and then climbed 26% after news. This month there has been a 10% drop from the high around 8.40 which took the price down to $7.60 per share since we have not had a posted news item on the website since September 1st . That is where it lingered for about 38 seconds this morning and as I look up the stock is at $8.03 per share.
Doc had the same thing happen where the stock dipped to $2.50 per share in the last couple of days for about 38 seconds and then up it went. This morning it is at $3.21 per share. That's an upswing of 28%.
Like the other longs I have been buying on the way up and have not sold a single share. There will be a time someday when it may be a good idea to sell some of the shares I have accummulated. However, I agree with the others this is not the time to be pickiing up pennies and losing dollars.
