stock manupulation Well.. I hate to rain on your parade, but look at the trades today. Only about 6K shares traded above 1.53 so far (12:55pm Eastern).. Yes, there was a cross trade at 1.53 when 73K shares went from TD Securities to CIBC World Markets, but this means nothing (I'd much rather see these 73K shares being bought in 10K chunks by different people).
Anyways, I am long and do think that this is a great company whose stock is extremely undervalued, but I will not be surprised if we close below 1.50 today (if not below 1.45). With this volume, it is too easy to manipulate the SP.
