You are right in that the price was held down and shares mopped up as the small sellers bailed, I and a few others posted on this when it was happening. it was blatently obvious. Shareholders from this forum cause was not helped by a number of posters who seem to be trying to scare people out of the company, and I bet a lot of people from here sold on that basis. I think there was a lot of very misinformed comment, both for and against on here..but fear can be more powerful then greed, so anyone not able to read between the lines probably sold off..unfortunately.
Go back over the posts of two weeks ago and looook at the history of comment.
