RE:Great example of manipulation The 84k share purchase isn't manipulation...it was a retail trader on stocktwits. Likely some other stocktwits guys sold to him who picked up shares on the last dip. Not everyone in the stock is waiting for well results. The quickest 400% gain I ever made was when I bought shares of EEENF 5 days before the well outcome and I sold out 4 days later, the day before the outcome because I didn't trust it as anything more than a technical momentum play.
