True Mrstockmarket, but because of the potential and amount of interest in SDL, and the volatility of the stock, traders have the ability to turnover a lot more shares and to manipulate the price a bit more.
If these same traders where to turn to a stock like BHP or RIO, they would find that the money they are using to manipulate SDL, just isn't enough to manipulate the bigger stocks.
A lot of small stocks have relatively no interest and can go hours and even days without trades, whereas there is always people looking to buy and sell out of SDL.
