It's people buying and selling on the sharemarket that determine whether the price goes up or down , some businesses are succesful with no profits for many years before they hit it big. Manipulation of stocks using various methods occurs everyday on every company of the ASX , and it doesn't help a company when it has doomsdayers/naysayers/downrampers/fabricators and stockbashers whether paid or not , telling other people that the company will be a failure. Thats the fact, it's been happening since day 1 of listing , the company is responsible for a lot of what is done but it isn't as if nothing was achieved by Syntonic.
