something seems amiss, page-4

Exactly! how many times from how many posters did we read the quote "I'm here for a quick flip" and "waiting for the ann of revenue of special stones to sell" i.e. a massive case of buy the rumour sell the fact dynamics come to fruition .
The only true way of any company really to beat such dynamics is steady year on year reliable returns ie. dividends.
Additionally another reason reflects lack of larger fish investors, i.e. big funds ect but this only happens with larger market caps i.e. >$100Mil and in which case those that again demonstrate their worthiness to yield a return.
