Welcome to the reality of the stock trading racket.
The fact remains that the big boys with their money can manipulate , short sell, program bots , put in fake buy bids and then pull them seconds before they dump , and destroy the small guys wealth.... ALL PERFECTLY legal.
The important thing is not to play their game.
With stocks like AXM work out in your mind what is fair value, where it should be on the basis of probabilities months down the track and be prepared to hold.
Rememember that Gold is currently selling for over A$1200 (with the plummeting oz dollar) and look towards the new year
