RE:RE:god this is tiresome. Day after day the pattern and the timing reminds me of point #6 from the GripRoom article posted on this site a few days ago - what the author called the "Triple Red Attack". It doesn't prove there is manipulation going on but the trading sure looks suspicious - and boring. Here's a bit from that article.
You see, manipulators can only smash a stock so hard. They can’t nuke it 5% a day indefinitely. If they bash it too hard, then they’ll let it recover to reestablish positive sentiment. Then the Triple Red Attack starts over again. Wall Street’s goal is to destroy a stock just enough to frustrate retail investors, but not enough to attract the attention of regulators, or serious value investors.
