RE: Can the political risk have that
I believe that it is a combination of reasons.
Orvana is not exactly a high profile stock so there is not much volume, ergo it would not take that much to keep the price down.
Assuming that the parent company MSA (who own 52%) wanted to keep prices down so that they could eventually take it private, they have nearly 60 million shares they could throw at it.
Ther will be better times ahead, no worries
