RE:RE:RE:RE:Solidly Manipulated Boring reply. I owned and sold a couple of months ago.
when a stock is " manipulated " for 9 months and lost so much value, some people refer to it as stock is tanking on its own. No " manipulation. " needed. No one is trying to steal your shares.
here is a good lesson for you ; go compare the institutional holders of now vs. 2 years ago. Then ask yourself did you notice them leaving ? ( perhaps a block trade happened and then those shares were slowly dumped on smart investors like you in small lots )
on the promo, the fact that you ask about it shows you don't know much. Here is your first lesson; next time there are earnings or news release, pay attention to a spike in stock price in the morning, followed by a sell-off later in the day and days following.
Have you actually gone and checked about the % of shorts of this stock? It is VERY low. There are just no buyers. Also shorts don't need to short it at 400 share lots. They push the price down with a bigger order so small timers ( aka you guys ) can be pushed out.
