RE:RE:RE:Stupid Trading@ Clarence: With the exception of a few readers of this forum everybody knows that the market is manipulated. The only difference between AVO and other stocks is that AVO is more interesting to play because it offers the ideal contitions to do so- (such as low volume and extremely fast recovery after any abuse which allowed fast repetitions of the same exercise). This was often explained in this forum. The resiliency is mainly because it is really an exceptional Company. A pretty high Officer of the RCMP told me that they know that the banks can place orders ahead of others and sometimes even sell to others at yesterdays prices. Also a bank admitted to me that they do not process individual orders but buy and sell in bulk. If this is really true then it is easy to guess what is going on behind the scenes. The RCMP apparently has a dept. that should handle fraud in this field but they use the excuse that they do not have the budget. Still, it is true that if the investors would know what they are doing they just would not sell at unreasonable prices. Of course all the accusations against AF did not help. Some time time ago I have even heard from an experienced investor that AF is cooking the books to make investors beleive that he can reach the target.
