RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Dont ..... Got look at level 2 on 100s of stocks and you will see 100 shares lots of very common.
There has been loads of volume at $2.50 +/- 10 cents. You could have crossed the Titanic by now. And there was also lots of opportunity to do a cross, at a lower price. Why go to the huge expense of selling shares that can give you $1 or more profit, to cross shares at ...what is you magic price? $2.25, $2.40 and how much tax money will that save when every share you sell to depress the price increases the cost of the cross.
Regardless of that logical argument, you have zero proof to assume a cross.
None at all.
You don't know who is doing it, why, whether it is cost effective, or which sales or purchases are "manipulation" and which are not.
It is just as logical (which means not logical) to blame the Hedgies who lost the bid to control the process. Why not blame them for wanting to punish shareholders by keeping the share price down? Some here may even believe that. This ridiculous hypothesis has the same amount of evidence pointing to it as the idea of someone else manipulating the share price.
I agree it is not a level playing field. Investments are about money. Some people have more than others. They also often have more experience, since older people tend to have more experience and more money. And they also may be better in decision making...knowing the difference because a wild guess unsupported by facts and reality. Occam's Razor:
