RE:Down, down, down.This was not expected for sure. My take is that there are players here working the price down but then we have had two back-to-back significantly down days on the markets to add insult to injury. Call me nuts but I believe the price action over the past couple weeks has manipulation written all over it! Pretty nasty for the average honest person just holding because they believe in the royalty business model. Manipulators strike at the most vulnerable times and they pride themselves on spooking investers out of their shares. This just comes with the territory. Shareholder are affected emotionally and start to panic. At some point MTA will regain its glory but it is not necessarily a hedge aginst a down market. The other thing is that markets and stock are rarely rational. Hopefully it is not an attempt to run the share price down for a buyout. I think this is much too early in the game for that and EB & Brett appear to be honest players with inegrity.
