RE: one more weekThis morning was classic. The stock opens higher. That was where it wanted to go. That would have been it's natural market direction today had it been allowed to trade freely. But in my opinion, a certain outfit had a pre-arranged massive sale to get through at the agreed price of $4.82 or $4.84 or whatever it was (I saw that trade earlier, but I forget what the exact price was) Now that that sale is done, as long as there aren't more like that to come, the stock is allowed to trade naturally again and is already on its way back up. There is of course always a possibility that nothing was done to bring the price down, or cap the early rise, and that they simply waited for a day like today where the price would naturally fall low enough to get that sale through. And they got 'lucky' today. Yeah, maybe it was a natural occurrence.
However, if it happened intentionally, then I feel for the inexperienced folks who don't understand these situations and instead, get frightened and sell. And of course you will always have the unsavory types who will come here to try to reinforce that fear so that some frightened inexperienced people will dump at wildly discounted prices. Pity.
