I'm inclined to half agree with you. Expectations from some people were insane, I saw people over on the bay board expecting 10% copper grades...

These people are going to be highly emotional and liable to exit their positions at the first sign of something being difficult.

But there has been strategic shorting going on, coinciding with a flood of posters spamming negative points without actually explaining them. Some of which are lies. I'll reserve my judgement for this time around, but on sept 4th we can see strategic shorting was combined with FUD to drive the price down. We will find out soon if that happened this time as well. The shorting is not responsible for the drop itself, it merely accelerates an existing drop driven by fear.
