RE:Conspiracy TheoryPutting big asks at a certain level is one of the strategy to kill the momentum of a stock or to keep it low. Now, to adhere to your conspiracy theory, it would be useful to know how this 450k ask at 62 cents is structured. What I know is that there are 6 sellers for this block. If there is one big seller and the rest is composed of small orders, than yes perhaps someone wants to keep the SP low so they can make a low ball offer later.
Unfortunately, I do not have the details of these 6 sell orders. If someone has them and can post them, we could have a better idea about the intentions of the sellers.
If we are starting to see some bashers coming to the board in the coming weeks, than your conspiracy theory might be more and more plausible. Just my humble opinion of course.
