Fair point bri, but I'm not into conspiracy theories about share price manipulation although I am sure it happens.
Ask yourself this - Is there any share talked about on Hotcopper that does not have a thread where disgruntled shareholders complain about how their share is being manipulated or short sold & if it wasn’t for that the share price would be rocketing?

As I said, I’m sure it happens but sometimes I think we like to make excuses when things don’t turn out how we anticipated they would. It goes against human nature to admit we were wrong on a share call, easier to blame something or someone else.
