I'll probably try buying back in 2 lots, just over $5 and see how close I can get to the bottom for the second lot.
This shorting manipulation is likely to happen more often and more aggressively on the ASX unfortunately. Look at the QIN response to an ASX query. Hard to find truly independent reports when the reports/rumours are coming from the same entities doing the shorting! Just makes the old Do Your Own Research increasingly important. One can either ignore the fluctuations or try to profit by them (which takes a little time and worry).
