Scotchy ..you are so F O S !!! This is not a manipulated stock by any stretch of the imagination. Have you ever seen coal thicknesses like these ? Try to get real. You say that you are short. Great. I hope you get buried. You cannot generalize about TSX.V stocks or anything else for that matter. The exceptions will kill you .. if you go short. And this is one of them. It can turn in an instant and squeeeeeeeeezzzzzzz !! Be prepared. I will be laughing at you.
