rampers vs lt holders, page-3

Hi Mymom - There are much greater forces than daytraders and even the average long term holders that determine the final outcome of daily price movements. Shares are manipulated everyday by people/institutions with very deep pockets and often very different agendas. We don't stand a chance against them when they want in or out. You just have to accept/understand the risks involved and hold/trade/sell accordingly. I would also say that the daytraders can be an incredible source of information. It was the daytraders thread that alerted me to ORD several years ago - I did my own research and decided that it was a company worth owning. Daytraders can raise the profile of a share even if for just a short time especially the high profile good ones worth listening to and we have a few of them here in ORD. They may even hold some shares long term and others as traders. I am always happy and relieved when I see gizard's name! Angie
