thanks, I now understand - when the share price drops, it is manipulation, for example, down rampers, tree shakers, weak hands, profit takers, instos, bots, big boys, high frequency traders, algorithmic trading, short selling, mis-management by the BOD, tight stop loss orders, unfavourable overseas economic conditions, hostile government policies, monopolies, etc
