Look at the one year chart ~ When I looked at the last year....I see mountains and valleys. Quite common,so I don't know why people are saying Pump and Dump, that happens in almost all stocks. Yelling "pump and dump"....just puts more fear into people. There are day traders (shorters) all over the place. Including news, and spreading more news. Newbies are especially sensitive to this and will sell on fear. Stocks have been a roller coaster ride....what goes up, must come down, and visa versa.
