RE:manipulationWhen stocks are thinly traded, or during those days, I don't give manipulation much thought. Compared to the old days, it is cheap to trade stocks even for a few buck profit because commissions are so cheap. The one thing that I do know is that stock manipulation will not keep companies' stocks down if they crank out solid performance.
That's what we are waiting for here. Lots of indicators of busy business activity, but activity is not the same as results. So, now we are waiting for results to validate the activities. We do have a large backlog, but once established, investors want to see it being built on with greater frequency that we have been seeing here over the first half of the year. This can change fast, but until it does, impatience and questions linger.
